The Spring Lucky Dip Run 2026 : Staines upon Thames
The event is a timed challenge lasting seven hours that allows participants to choose how far they run. The minimum distance to be an official finisher is 3 km. Laps are described as 7 km (4.37 miles) each, with a possible alternate loop of 3.28 miles depending on course conditions. The course includes 3k and 5k turn points to accommodate UK Athletics age rules. It is 3 laps for a half marathon, 6 laps for a marathon and 7 or more laps for an ultra; a 50 km distance is also offered.
The route follows a stretch of the River Thames, is fully signed, and is mainly on made paths and tarmac with a very short grass section. Road shoes are suitable year round. An aid table and drinks table are available at the start/finish of each lap with savoury, sweet, fruit, cheese and vegan items.
Finishers who complete at least 3 km receive a themed medal chosen from past events. Distance pins are issued for half marathon distance and above and are attached to the medal ribbon. Finishers receive a goody bag, with a vegan option available.
