Saturn Running stages this looped Time Challenge at The Last Hop, Thames Edge, Clarence Street, Staines TW18 4SU. The event runs along a stretch of the River Thames and uses a signed looped course close to the venue.

The format is a seven hour Time Challenge that lets participants choose how many laps to complete. The minimum distance for an official finish is 3km. A full lap is given as 7 km (4.37 miles) but may be changed to a shorter loop depending on course conditions. The course includes 3 km and 5 km turn points to accommodate UK Athletics age restrictions. Distances for common achievements are specified as laps equivalent to half marathon, marathon and ultra distances, and a 50 km option is available.

The route is mainly on well made paths and tarmac with a very short grass section; road shoes are suitable year round. The course is fully signed so no navigation is required.

Finishers who complete at least 3km receive a cupcake medal that doubles as a fridge magnet. Distance pins are awarded for half-marathon distance and above. There is an aid and drinks table at the start/finish with sweet and savoury options and vegan choices. Goody bags are provided, with a vegan goody bag option. Toilets and changing facilities are available at the venue. Parking is available at Bridge Street Car Park, Staines. A bag drop is provided but it is not secure. Headphones are allowed. A reduced entry price is available to members and members receive a mini pin and guaranteed entry. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
