Love it or Hate it Run
The Love it or Hate it Run is a 7-hour time challenge held in Staines-upon-Thames. This format allows participants to determine their own distance by completing as many or as few laps as they choose within the time limit. The event is open to runners of all abilities and walkers.
The following distances are available based on the number of completed laps:
- 3 km
- 5 km
- 10 km
- Half Marathon
- Marathon
- 50 km
- Ultra Marathon
The course is located along a stretch of the River Thames and consists primarily of well-made paths and tarmac, with a small grass section. It is a fully signed route that requires no navigational experience, and road shoes are appropriate for the terrain. A full lap is typically 4.37 miles (7 km), though this may change to a 3.28 mile loop depending on ground conditions. Specific turn points are provided for shorter distances to comply with age restrictions.
An aid station with sweet, savoury, fruit, cheese, and vegan options is positioned at the start and finish of each lap. Finishers who complete at least 3 km receive a themed medal and a goody bag. Distance pins are also awarded for those completing a half marathon or further. Facilities at the venue include toilets, and parking is available at the nearby Bridge Street Car Park.
