Event summary
Organiser's Description
Bringing the adrenaline of a Spartan race to the awesome spectacle of a stadium, Stadion is a 5km, 20-obstacle race that offers a fresh challenge for new and seasoned racers alike. Racers will get the opportunity to experience a Spartan race on the same ground that legends tread, with a number of exciting and unfamiliar obstacles thrown in.
The Stadion was an ancient Greek running event and an original Olympic game. It got its name from the storied stadium it took place in. Now, we’re letting you compete in the legendary stadiums of today and add to their history. But unlike in Ancient Greece, all levels are encouraged to take part and enjoy themselves. No matter your level, set your own personal record and etch a new chapter in your own history book.

How To Get There
By train: The main railway station in the town is Twickenham itself, a 10 minute walk from the Stadium, with services to London Waterloo via Richmond, Clapham Junction, Putney, Vauxhall, Wimbledon.
Trains also run to Reading, calling at Feltham, Staines and then all stations, and to Windsor and Eton Riverside, calling at Whitton, Feltham, Ashford, Staines and then all stations.
By car: From M25, exit at J12 onto M3. This becomes the A316, and Twickenham Stadium is off the Whitton Road roundabout next to the Lexus / Toyota car dealership. From London, turn right off the A316 at Whitton Road roundabout. Please do leave additional time if you are arriving at the stadium during peak travel hours as the A316 can be busy during this time.
