The course runs alongside a stretch of the River Thames and is fully signed. About 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 grip on softer sections. The course layout is subject to change pending health and safety review and landowner approval.
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. Finishers receive a goody bag with a vegan option. Toilets and changing facilities are available at the race HQ which also has a cafe. Bag drop is unmanned and items are left at the participant's own risk. An aid table and drinks are provided at the start/finish of each lap. Headphones are allowed. Final race instructions are sent by email in the week before the event and race numbers are picked up at registration on the day. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
