The New Years Day Run begins at 9am from The Last Hop on Clarence Street in Staines. It is a 7-hour time challenge, allowing runners to choose their own distance, whether that is a short run, a marathon, an ultra-style effort, or any distance in between.
The event welcomes participants of all abilities, including walkers. The New Year theme provides a first-day push after Christmas, framed by the organiser as a shared effort rather than a formal race. Members receive discounted entry, guaranteed participation, and a medal pin at each event.
