About the Boats
The 5 boats will be clearly labelled as 40/50/55/60/70 mins respectively. So when entering, its important for you to try and decide which boat you'll be taking on, based on your predicted finish time over the course. Faster runners will be looking to beat the 40 min boat, and would therefore want any supporters to be on-board that one, whereas people running closer to 50 or 60 mins, would be chasing those boats.
About the Event
This event is put on by runners, for runners and we'll be trying to ensure that everything we'd expect in a race will be provided. That will include water stations, friendly marshals, clear instructions, excellent facilities and a safe and fun environment that you'd expect when trying to beat several tonnes of river boat in a footrace along the thames path. All finishers will receive a bespoke medal, race themed technical T-shirt, on course support and hopefully a fun and unique morning trying to beat the boat.
Chip Timing
This year we will again be having chip timing for all runners in the main race (Chip/Number packs picked up on the day from race registration)
We'll also be adding an optional Kids 1 Mile Fun Run held before the main race (with enough time for them to finish and make it onboard the spectator boats). This will be held on the main/start finish field.
