Event Format
This is a seven-hour time challenge run with a flexible start window. The event allows participants to decide how far they want to run, with a minimum distance of 3km. Distances are run in laps, with each full lap measuring approximately 7km. A turn point within each lap allows for shorter distances like 3km and 5km. Participants can run a set number of laps to achieve standard distances, for example, three laps for a half marathon and six laps for a marathon.
Course Information
The route follows a stretch of the River Thames. Approximately 60% of the course is on paved paths or tarmac, with the remaining section being grass and light trail that can become muddy. The course is fully marked.
Amenities and Perks
All finishers who complete at least 3km receive a medal. Additional distance pins are awarded for completing a half marathon or longer. An aid table with a selection of savory, sweet, fruit, cheese, and vegan items is located at the start/finish of each lap. All finishers receive a goody bag, with a vegan option available.
Venue Facilities
The event uses the Wraysbury Skiff and Punting Club as race HQ, which has toilets, changing facilities, and a café. A bag drop area is available near the start/finish line, but it is unmanned. A large pay-on-exit car park is located at Runnymede Pleasure Grounds.
Registration Details
Entry prices vary by distance and membership status, with a special £20 price available to club members. Final race instructions are sent via email the week before the event. Bib number collection takes place on race day at registration. Participants of all abilities and walkers are welcome. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
