The route is approximately 60% well-made path or tarmac, with the remaining 40% consisting of grass and light trail that may be muddy. The course is fully signed and no navigation experience is required. Road shoes are suitable, though trail shoes may be used for better grip on the grass sections.
The event headquarters at Wraysbury Skiff and Punting Club provides toilets, changing facilities, and a cafe. An unmanned bag drop is located near the start and finish line. Parking is available at the Runnymede Pleasure Grounds using a pay on exit system.
Finisher Rewards
All participants who complete at least 3 km receive a medal and a goody bag, with a vegan version available upon request. An aid station at the start and finish of each lap provides a variety of sweet and savoury snacks, fruit, and drinks. Runners completing a half marathon or longer distance also receive specific distance pins. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
