The Winter Lucky Dip Run 2027
The Winter Lucky Dip Run is a timed event held on 30 January 2027 at The Last Hop, Unit 2, Thames Edge Court, Clarence Street, Staines, TW18 4SU. It is organised under Trail Running Association licencing and UK Athletics rules. The format is a seven hour time challenge that allows participants to choose how many laps to complete; the minimum recognised distance is 3 km.
A full lap measures 4.37 miles (about 7 km) but may be changed to a 3.28 mile loop depending on course conditions. The lap contains 3 km and 5 km turn points to support compliance with UK Athletics age rules. Lap counts for standard distances are noted: three laps for a half marathon, six for a marathon, seven or more for an ultra, and a 50 km option is available.
The course runs along a stretch of the River Thames, is fully signed, and is mainly on paths and tarmac with a short grass section. Road shoes are suitable year round. The regular course may be adjusted after a health and safety review.
Finishers who complete at least 3 km receive a themed medal chosen from previous event medals; distance pins are provided for half marathon and longer distances. Finishers receive a goody bag with a vegan option on request. Aid and drinks tables are provided at the start and finish of each lap. Parking is available at Bridge Street Car Park, Staines TW18 4TP.
