Held annually in Windsor and Eton, the Beat The Boat 10K is a distinctive trail race that challenges participants to outrun spectator-laden boats along the Thames River. The event includes a 10-kilometer race and a 1-mile children's fun run, both starting from The Brocas Fields in Eton. Runners choose to race against one of five boats, each representing a target finish time of 40, 50, 55, 60, or 70 minutes. The flat, mixed-terrain course follows the scenic Thames Path, with some sections bordering fields that may become muddy in wet conditions. Participants enjoy on-course support, water stations, and a festive atmosphere, culminating in a bespoke medal and a race-themed technical T-shirt upon completion.
