Great British Bake Run 2026 - Staines-upon-Thames
This is a 7 hour Time Challenge held at The Last Hop, Unit 2, Thames Edge, 15-18 Clarence Street, Staines TW18 4SU. Participants choose how many laps to run on a signed loop along a stretch of the River Thames; the minimum counted distance is 3km. A full lap is listed as 7km (4.37 miles) but may change to a 3.28 mile loop depending on course conditions. Lap counting determines standard distances: three laps for a half marathon, six for a marathon, seven or more for an ultra; a 50km option is also available. The course is mainly well made paths and tarmac with a very short grass section; road shoes are suitable year round. The regular course may be adjusted following a health and safety review.
Finishers who complete at least 3km receive a cupcake-shaped medal that also serves as a magnet. Distance pins are awarded for half-marathon distance and above and are attached to the medal ribbon. All finishers receive a goody bag; a vegan goody bag option is available. An aid table and drinks table are provided at the start/finish of each lap with a selection of drinks and sweet and savoury snacks, including vegan options. There is toilet access at the venue but no dedicated changing rooms or showers; downstairs toilets are available for changing. Parking is available at Bridge Street Car Park, Staines TW18 4TP. Headphones are allowed. A non-secure bag drop is provided. Members receive a reduced entry fee (£10 lower), guaranteed entry and a mini-me medal pin at events.
