Saturn Running - Staines-upon-Thames

Strawberry Shortcake Scamper - Staines-upon-Thames

This event is a themed running event organised by Saturn Running at The Last Hop in Staines. Finishers who complete at least 3 km receive a themed Strawberry Shortcake medal. Members receive a guaranteed entry, a mini-me medal pin at each event they attend, and entry prices that are £10 lower than full price.

The event is run as a 7 hour Time Challenge that gives participants control over how many laps they complete. A full lap is listed as 7 km (4.37 miles) and may be changed to a 3.28 mile loop depending on course conditions. The course includes 3 km and 5 km turn points to support compliance with UK Athletics age rules. Typical lap counts are three laps for a half marathon, six for a marathon, and seven or more for an ultra; a 50 km option is also offered.

The route follows a stretch of the River Thames and is fully signed. Surfaces are mainly made paths and tarmac with a short grass section; road running shoes are suitable year round.

Event provisions include finisher goody bags with a vegan option, distance pins for half-marathon and longer reflected on the medal ribbon, and an aid table with savoury, sweet, fruit, cheese and vegan items at the start/finish of each lap. Toilets are available at the venue but no separate changing rooms or showers. Parking is available at Bridge Street Car Park, Staines TW18 4TP. Final race instructions are sent by email before the event and race numbers are collected at on-site registration. A bag drop is available but not secure. Headphones are allowed and participants should be considerate of other public footpath users. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
