The Nearly But Not Quite London Marathon 2027
This event on 24 April 2027 is a seven hour Time Challenge held from The Last Hop in Staines, along a stretch of the River Thames. The event uses a signed looped course on mainly well made paths and tarmac with a short grass section; road shoes are suitable year round. The regular lap is 4.37 miles (about 7 km) but the loop may be changed to a 3.28 mile circuit depending on course conditions. A 3 km turn point and a 5 km turn point are marked within the lap for compliance with UK Athletics age restrictions.
Finishers who complete at least 3 km receive a themed medal. Runners who complete a half marathon distance or longer receive a distance pin on their medal ribbon; available pins include Half-Marathon, Mega-Half, Marathon, 50 km and Ultra. A goody bag is provided to finishers, with a vegan goody bag option available on request. An aid table and drinks table are located at the start/finish of each lap offering drinks and a selection of snacks, including vegan options.
The event is licensed by the Trail Running Association and held under UK Athletics rules. Members receive a reduced entry price and a guaranteed entry plus a mini-me medal pin; members of UK Athletics affiliated clubs get a small entry discount. Toilets are available at the venue; there are no separate changing rooms or showers. Parking is available at Bridge Street Car Park, Staines. Headphones are allowed and participants are asked to be considerate of other path users. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
