The official route embed plus the essentials for the day.
Thanks for being part of it. Here is how the day works.
07:30 Battersea Power Station
The race starts at 07:30 sharp.
All runners from all teams run the opening stretch together from Battersea to:
Sheen Lane Car Park Richmond
Sheen Ln London SW14
There is free parking there at weekends.
Leave your support car at Sheen Lane in advance and make your way back to Battersea for the start.
One practical option is the train from Mortlake to Queenstown Road followed by a short jog to the start.
At Sheen Lane one runner from each team continues.
The rest move into the support vehicle.
From this point onwards it becomes a rolling relay.
You can have a dedicated support driver or rotate drivers when you rotate runners. Keep things safe and sensible on the road.
Beyond following the official route your strategy is your own.
You might run your full distance in one block break it into shorter efforts or rotate frequently.
The key rule:
By the finish all runners on a team must be within 3km of each other in total distance covered.
If someone is short on distance you will need to correct it before finishing.
Keep track as you go.
We finish at the water line in front of Perch at Lancing Beach.
All team members should be present at the finish.
All runners and supporters are invited to join us at Perch for pizza drinks and prize giving.
There are plenty of B and Bs and hotels along the coast.
Some organisers will be staying at The Barn Campsite in Lancing about 10 minutes walk from the finish.
Key locations. Keep the day smooth.
