Join us to celebrate the 100th marathon of the very lovely KATHERINE MARTIN!!!! She is an absolutely awesome runner who completes many of our events and others and is always smiling down the towpath!

Katherine designed the medal as a nod to her nursing background and I think we can all agree that the medal and the pin are totally awesome and unique, just like Katherine herself!!!

The amazing medal also celebrates the life of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing. This is the first of our series of Running Through History medals celebrating the lives of some of the most famous figures throughout time.

Distance & Time: This is a 7 hour timed event starting at 9am, during this time you can run as many laps as you would like to. We welcome runners of all abilities (and any walkers too!) and, as long as you complete at least one lap, you will earn an amazing themed medal!

One lap is equal to 4.37 miles or 7 km (this is subject to change to a 3.28 mile loop depending on course conditions). There is no maximum distance, and you can continue running and complete as many laps as you want to within the time limit!

Course: The course is along a beautiful stretch of the River Thames and is classified as a trail run. It is sign posted throughout and so no navigational experience is required.

Aid Table: We have a fantastic aid station located at the start line and therefore available every 4.37 miles, the aid station has an incredible selection of drinks and savoury or sweet snacks such as crisps, cheese, fruit, cookies with vegan options also available.

Medals: As long as you complete one lap, you will be an official finisher and you will receive our fantastic medal.

Distance Pins: We have distance pins available for anyone who runs a half-marathon distance or more. Pins available to collect are our Half-Marathon, Mega-Half, Marathon, 50km and Ultra pins. You will receive one pin on the ribbon of your medal to reflect your achievement. It is 3 laps for a half marathon, 6 for a marathon and 7 or over for an ultra, we also have a 50km distance available.

Goody Bag: Absolutely! You earned the calories after all, so all our finishers get a goody bag. As well as our standard goody bag, with a selection of various goodies to choose from, we also have a fabulous vegan goody bag for our vegan runners.

Special Event: If our event is a special event for you, for instance your 50th, 99th, 100th, 200th, 250th etc., half or full marathon then please let us know. You will receive a special running number with your name on it and the date of the event. Also, if it is your birthday run then again please let us know as we have a fabulous special birthday number for you too.

Toilets & Changing Facilities: The toilets are situated at the start line and are available for our runners from 8am and throughout the entire event.

Final Instructions / Number pick up: Final race day instructions will be sent out via email 4 days prior to the event with full race day information. Number pick up is on the day at race registration before the start of the event.

Parking: There is parking available in Bridge Street Car Park in Staines, TW18 4TP.

Other Info: There will be somewhere to leave a bag at the start / finish area. However, this is not a secure bag and the items cannot be watched at all times so please do not leave anything valuable.

Places are strictly limited and event registration will close once these are sold out. The minimum age is 12 years old. If you would like to run with someone under 12 years of age, please contact us directly. We have two events running at the same time. The main event is a UKA Permitted event and is for all runners aged 18 or over. In addition, we have a non-UKA event for runners under the age of 18. Runners under the age of 18 will automatically be included in the non-UKA start list and this event will start 1 minute after the main event.

Headphones are allowed.

Our running events are held on public footpaths so we would be grateful if all runners were considerate of other path users.
