Saturn Running : Scare Bear Run 2026
Saturn Running stages a themed Time Challenge event at The Last Hop in Staines along the River Thames. The event is a 7 hour Time Challenge that lets participants choose how many laps to complete. The minimum recognised distance for a finisher is 3 km. A full lap is described as 7 km (4.37 miles) but may be changed to a 3.28 mile loop depending on course conditions. There are 3 km and 5 km turn points within the lap to allow compliance with UK Athletics age rules.
The course is fully signed and mainly on well made paths and tarmac with a short grass section. Road shoes are suitable year round. The event is licensed by the Trail Running Association and held under UK Athletics rules. Runners who belong to a UK Athletics affiliated club may receive a £2.00 discount.
Finishers who complete at least 3 km receive a themed medal. Distance pins are issued for half-marathon distance or greater and are attached to the medal ribbon. All finishers receive a goody bag and a vegan goody bag option is available. An aid table and drinks table are provided at the start/finish area with savoury, sweet, fruit, cheese and vegan items.
Facilities include toilets at The Last Hop but no separate changing rooms or showers. Parking is available at Bridge Street Car Park, Staines TW18 4TP. Number pick up is on the day at race registration and final instructions are issued by email before the event. A non-secure bag drop is available. Headphones are allowed and participants should be considerate of other public footpath users.
