The Christmas Jumper Jaunt
The Christmas Jumper Jaunt is a themed midweek running event organised by Saturn Running at Wraysbury Skiff and Punting Club, Riverside, Egham TW20 0AA, UK. The course runs along a stretch of the River Thames and is fully signed. Surfaces are mainly well made paths and tarmac with a very short grass section, so road shoes are suitable year round.
This event is a 7 hour Time Challenge that lets participants choose how many laps to run within the time limit. A full lap measures 4.37 miles (about 7 km) but the loop may be changed to a 3.28 mile route depending on course conditions. The minimum distance is one lap, and completing multiple laps corresponds to recognised distances for half marathon, marathon, and ultra categories. Christmas jumpers or festive attire are encouraged but not mandatory.
On course and race headquarters facilities include a full aid table with vegan options, toilets, a bag drop area that is unmanned, and distance pins for half-marathon and longer finishes. Finishers receive a medal and a goody bag with a vegan option. The start and finish area also has an aid and drinks table and a cafe nearby. Parking is available at Runnymede Pleasure Grounds on a pay on exit basis. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
