Event information
Our Walton on Thames route is an accurately measured & UKA certified route - Certificate No: 18/340.
This is a beautiful low jaunt along the River Thames where runners complete 8 identical laps for the marathon distance and 4 laps for the Half Marathon, but remember - it's NOT just the London Marathon or Half because our event is also a 7 hour timed event where you can complete as many or as few laps of a 3.28 mile lap as you like so you can also run shorter distances than a half marathon or longer than a marathon.
