The Winter Lucky Dip Run is a unique 7-hour timed challenge held on a scenic loop along the Thames in Staines. Participants can choose their own distance, from a 3km fun run to an ultra marathon, running as many laps as they like. The route is flat, well-signed and mostly on tarmac and paths, with a fully stocked aid station at the start/finish of every lap. The event is beginner-friendly and open to all abilities, including walkers, and finishers receive a medal of their choice from a collection of past designs.
