Saturn Running - Egham

Event Format

This is a 7-hour timed running challenge. Participants choose their own distance by completing laps. The minimum distance is 3 km. A full lap is approximately 7 km (subject to change to 3.28 miles depending on course conditions). Participants can run as few or as many laps as they wish within the 7-hour window. Three laps equal a half marathon, six laps a marathon, and seven or more an ultra marathon. A 50 km distance is also an option.

The route is along the River Thames. The course is fully signed, requiring no navigation. The surface is mainly well-made paths and tarmac, with a very short grass section. Road shoes are suitable year-round. The course is flat. It is subject to a final safety review and approval.
