The Sloth Scamper - Staines upon Thames
Organised by Saturn Running at The Last Hop, Thames Edge Court, Staines, TW18 4SU on 14 March 2026, this event is presented as a seven hour Time Challenge that lets participants choose their own distance within the event window. A minimum distance of 3km counts as an official finish.
The course runs along a stretch of the River Thames, is fully signed, and uses mainly well made paths and tarmac with a short grass section. Road shoes are suitable year round. The lap is listed as 4.37 miles (7km) but may change to a 3.28 mile loop depending on course conditions. There are 3km and 5km turn points on the lap to support age-restricted distances under UK Athletics rules.
Finishers who complete at least 3km receive a sloth medal. Distance pins are issued for half-marathon and longer finishes, including Half-Marathon, Mega-Half, Marathon, 50km and Ultra pins. A goody bag is provided to finishers, with a vegan goody bag option available if requested at entry.
