Saturn Running - Egham

Midweek Chasing Numbers June 2026

The Midweek Chasing Numbers run is a 7-hour time challenge event located in Egham at the Wraysbury Skiff & Punting Club. This flexible format allows participants to determine their own distance by completing as many or as few laps as they wish within the time limit. The course follows a scenic and flat route along the River Thames, primarily consisting of well-made paths and tarmac with a very short grass section.

The standard lap is 7 km (4.37 miles), though this may be adjusted to a 5.28 km (3.28 mile) loop depending on course conditions. Participants who complete at least one 3 km segment are official finishers. Specific distances achievable through multiple laps include:

• 5 km
• 7 km
• Half Marathon
• Marathon
• 50 km
• Ultra Marathon

The event features a fully signed course, removing the need for navigational experience. An aid station is positioned at the start and finish of each lap, offering a variety of sweet and savoury snacks, fruit, and vegan options. All finishers receive a medal and a goody bag, with specialized vegan goody bags available. Those who complete a distance of a half marathon or further are also eligible for specific distance pins to attach to their medal ribbon.

Facilities at the race headquarters include toilets, changing rooms, and a cafe. Parking is available at the Runnymede Pleasure Grounds on a pay-on-exit basis. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
