About The Event
The aim of our Lucky Dip Runs is to hold events at a reduced price in order for people to be able to build their numbers or simply to help people achieve their own goals at an affordable price. There is no set medal for this race, instead you will get to choose your own from a selection of medals from past events.

Distance & Time
This is a 7 hour Time Challenge event which allows you full control over the distance you want to run. The minimum distance is 5km, which is part of a full lap. A full lap is 4.37 miles (7km) and you can run as many or as few of these laps as you wish in the 7 hour time limit. Please note, we may use the 3.28 mile course at this venue and we will advise closer to the time.

The course along a beautiful stretch of the River Thames. It is fully signed so no navigational experience is required. The course is mainly well made paths and tarmac with a very short grass section. Road shoes are suitable all year round.
All abilities are welcome at our super-inclusive events and we also welcome walkers too.

As long as you complete one lap, you will be an official finisher and you will get to choose your medal from a selection from past events.
We also have distance pins available for anyone who runs a half-marathon distance or more. Pins available to collect are our Half-Marathon, Mega-Half, Marathon, 50km and Ultra pins. You will receive one pin on the ribbon of your medal to reflect your achievement.
