Saturn Running I'm Not Throwing Away My Shot Run : Staines-upon-Thames
This event in Staines-upon-Thames is organised by Saturn Running and takes place along the River Thames. The format is a timed challenge with a seven hour limit that allows participants to complete as many laps of the course as they wish. The minimum distance for an official finish is 5 km.
The distances offered include:
- 5 km
- 10 km
- Half Marathon (13.1 mi)
- Marathon (26.2 mi)
- Ultra / Timed Challenge
The course follows a signed loop along a scenic stretch of the Thames. Surfaces are mainly well made paths and tarmac with a very short grass section, and road shoes are suitable year round. A full lap measures 4.37 miles (about 7 km) but the route may be changed to a 3.28 mile loop depending on course conditions. Specific lap counts correspond to standard distances for half marathons, marathons, and ultras; a 50 km option is also available.
Facilities at race headquarters include toilets, a bag drop (unstaffed; items left at runner responsibility), distance pins, and number pick up on the day. Runners receive a finisher medal and a goody bag with a vegan option. Aid stations provide drinks and snacks with vegan choices. Headphones are allowed and spectators are welcome. Parking is available at Bridge Street Car Park, Staines TW18 4TP. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
