Will Run For Ice Cream 2026

Will Run For Ice Cream 2026 is a multi-distance running event organised by Saturn Running along a stretch of the River Thames in Staines. The event features a 7 hour Time Challenge that lets participants choose how many laps to complete, with a minimum official finishing distance of 3 km.

The course is fully signed and mainly on well made paths and tarmac with a short grass section. Road running shoes are suitable year round. A full lap measures 4.37 miles (approximately 7 km) but may be adjusted to a shorter loop depending on course conditions. The lap includes 3 km and 5 km turn points to support UK Athletics age restrictions. Typical lap counts are 3 laps for a half marathon, 6 for a marathon, and 7 or more for an ultra; a 50 km option is also offered.

Finishers who complete at least 3 km receive an ice cream themed medal, with additional distance pins for half-marathon, mega-half, marathon, 50 km and ultra achievements. All 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 a variety of savoury, sweet, fruit, cheese and vegan items.

Venue facilities include toilets and changing at the event HQ. Parking is available at Bridge Street Car Park in Staines. A bag drop is provided but is not secure. Headphones are allowed and participants are asked to be considerate of other public footpath users.
