Strawberry Shortcake Scamper
This event is a themed running event organised by Saturn Running at The Last Hop in Staines. A themed medal featuring Strawberry Shortcake is awarded to finishers who complete at least 3 km. The event runs as a seven hour Time Challenge, allowing participants to choose how many laps to complete within that time.
The course follows a stretch of the River Thames and is fully signed. Surfaces are mainly well made paths and tarmac with a short grass section; road shoes are suitable all year. The lap measures 4.37 miles (about 7 km) but may be changed to a 3.28 mile loop depending on course conditions. There are 3 km and 5 km turn points on the lap to help comply with UK Athletics age rules.
Medals and distance pins are awarded for half-marathon distance and above. Finishers receive a goody bag and a vegan goody bag option is available. An aid and drinks table is provided at the start/finish of each lap with sweet, savoury, fruit, cheese and vegan items. There is parking at Bridge Street Car Park, toilets at The Last Hop, and a non-secure bag drop at the start/finish area. Headphones are allowed and participants should be considerate of other public path users.
