Midweek Medal Madness Run : August 2026
This is a 7-hour Time Challenge held at Wraysbury Skiff and Punting Club on a stretch of the River Thames. Participants choose their own distance with a minimum finish distance of 3 km. The course is fully signed and composed of about 60% well-made path or tarmac, with the remainder on grass and light trail that can become muddy. Road shoes are suitable year round; trail shoes may be preferred for extra grip. Course layout may change subject to health and safety review and landowner approval.
A 3k turn point and a 5k turn point are provided within the lap to support UK Athletics age-distance rules. Lap structure and examples:
- Minimum distance: 3 km
- Full lap: 7 km / 4.37 miles (may change to 3.28 miles)
- Half marathon: 3 laps
- Marathon: 6 laps
- Ultra: 7 laps or more; 50 km option available
Finishers who complete at least 3 km receive a medal. Distance pins are issued for half-marathon, mega-half, marathon, 50 km and ultra distances and are attached to the medal ribbon. Finishers receive a goody bag, with a vegan goody bag option. An aid and drinks table at the start/finish of each lap offers savoury, sweet, fruit, cheese and vegan items.
Toilets, changing facilities and a cafe are available at race HQ. Unmanned bag drop is next to the start/finish and items are left at the participant’s own risk. Participants may wear headphones. The event is organised by Saturn Too Limited, a franchise partner of Saturn Running. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
