Midweek Medal Madness - Leon's Birthday Run!
This event takes place in Staines along a section of the River Thames. Participants navigate a course consisting mostly of well-made paths and tarmac, with a very small section of grass. The route is fully signed, and road shoes are recommended for the surface types.
The event is designed as a seven-hour time challenge. This format provides runners with the flexibility to determine their own distance by completing as many laps as they choose within the time limit. A standard full lap is 7 km (4.37 miles), though this may be adjusted to a 5.27 km (3.28 mile) loop depending on local conditions. Specific turn points are also marked at 3 km and 5 km.
Available distances include:
- 3 km
- 5 km
- 10 km
- Half Marathon (3 laps)
- Marathon (6 laps)
- 50 km
- Ultra Marathon (7 laps or more)
Finishers receive a medal upon completing at least 3 km. Those who reach a half marathon distance or further also receive specific distance pins. An aid table at the start and finish of each lap provides sweet and savoury snacks, including vegan options. Facilities at the venue include toilets that can be used for changing, and bag storage is available at the start area. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
