A half marathon is three laps, a marathon six laps, and seven laps or more count as an ultra. A 50 km distance is also offered.
Distances available include:
- 3 km minimum distance
- 5 km
- 10 km
- Half marathon

- Time Challenge option
The course follows a stretch of the River Thames and is fully signed. Approximately 60% of the route is on a well-made path or tarmac; the remainder is grass and light trail that can become muddy. Road shoes are suitable year round; trail shoes may be preferred for extra grip on softer sections. Aid and drinks tables are provided at the start/finish of each lap with a mix of savoury, sweet, fruit, cheese and vegan items.
Finishers who complete at least 3 km receive a medal; distance pins are awarded for half-marathon distance and above and are attached to the medal ribbon. Toilets, changing facilities and a cafe are available at the race HQ. Bag drop is unmanned and items are left at the participant's own risk. There is a pay-on-exit car park at Runnymede Pleasure Grounds. Headphones are allowed and the event is held on public footpaths. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
