The Eggcellent Easter Five in Five Days Series
The Eggcellent Easter Five in Five Days Series is a multi-day running event held in Staines-upon-Thames. Participants have the option to enter the full five-day series or select individual days. Each day of the series is themed with a different Easter Bunny egg colour, including orange, pink, green, purple, and blue.
The event is structured as an 8 hour Time Challenge, providing runners with control over their total distance. The course consists of a loop along the River Thames, primarily on well-maintained paths and tarmac with a small grass section. A full lap is approximately 7 km (4.37 miles), though this may adjust to a 5.28 km (3.28 mile) loop depending on the ground conditions.
The following distances are available for participants:
- 3 km
- 5 km
- 10 km
- Half-Marathon
- Marathon
- 50 km
- Ultra-Marathon
Finishers who complete at least 3 km receive a themed medal. Additional distance pins are awarded for achievements of a Half-Marathon or greater. The event provides an aid station at the start and finish of each lap, offering a variety of sweet and savoury snacks, including vegan options. Facilities at the race headquarters include toilets, changing rooms, and a cafe. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
