Organiser's Description

Track Wars is back once again at the lovely running track in Walton on Thames with our 6, 12 and 24 Hour options.

This is our 10th Edition of the 24 hour track event - welcome to Project X.

Run 5k, 10k, half-marathon, marathon, or more - the choice is yours!

We'll also have our usual separate afternoon/evening 6 hour event and our 'Track Wars - Midnight Runner' - starting at midnight (see separate events on our website for those). These extra events really keep the atmosphere going for the full 24 hours and you can run a 5k, 10k, half marathon, marathon or indeed any distance you like at our 6 hour events.

At our first ever track event many moons ago we had so many folks who thought they'd simply come and run and 'get it over with'. The results couldn't have been more different with a party like atmosphere and so many people commenting on how much they enjoyed the experience. So much so, that they all came back for Track Wars II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX and now we're up to X with our additional 12 hour, 24 hours and midnight runs. Will the fun just never end!

These events do tend to sell out in advance and we have a strict cap of 100 runners at any one time on the track, so don't miss out this time and please consider entering early!

Track Wars XXXII will be one of our 6 hour, 12 hour and 24 hour timed events, specially modified for the running track. As with all our timed events you can complete as many or as few laps as you like and once you do one lap you are both a finisher and a winner in our eyes. The only real difference is that this time one lap is 400m on a running track!

We expect many folks to come and run more traditional distances so here's how these translate;

It's 13 laps for 5.2km (meaning you complete at least 5km)
It's 25 laps for 10km (meaning you complete exactly 10km)
It's 53 laps for 21.2km (meaning you complete a half marathon)
It's 105.5 so 106 laps for 42.2km (meaning you complete a marathon)
It's 109 laps for 43.6km (meaning you complete an ultra marathon or 27 miles plus)
It's 202 laps for 80km (meaning you complete a 50 miler)
It's 302 laps for 120km (meaning you complete 75 miles)
It's 403 laps for 160km (meaning you complete a 100 miler)


NOTE: This event will have electronic chip timing so we can provide you with live updates as you run.

Not sure? Well the beauty of this format is that you don't even need to decide in advance - simply come and run a lap and see how you feel on the day and keep on going if it feels right.

Places will be strictly limited so don't leave it too late to enter.

Minimum distance is 400m or as far as you can go in 6, 12, 24 hours.
