We Will Remember Poppy Run : Staines-upon-Thames
We Will Remember Poppy Run is a remembrance-themed running event organised by Saturn Running in Staines-upon-Thames. The event offers multiple distance options on a looped course beside the River Thames and awards a poppy finisher medal. The organiser states the aim is to keep midweek events affordable.
The event uses a seven hour time challenge format that lets participants choose how many laps to complete within the time limit. The minimum recognised distance is 5 km. A full lap is described as about 7 km (4.37 miles) but may be reduced to a shorter loop depending on course conditions. Laps required for common distances are provided by the organiser.
Available distances:
- 5 km
- 10 km
- Half Marathon (13.1 mi)
- Marathon (26.2 mi)
- Ultra / Timed Challenge and 50 km options
The course runs mainly on signed paths and tarmac with a short grass section, so road shoes are suitable year round. Facilities at the race HQ include toilets, an unmanned bag drop, a cafe, a full aid table with vegan options, goody bags, and distance pins for longer finishes. Headphones are allowed and spectators are welcome. Parking is available at Bridge Street Car Park, Staines. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
