Hosted by Saturn Running, The Big Cake Run 2025 invites runners and walkers to take on as much distance as they like within a 7-hour window, starting from The Last Hop in Staines-upon-Thames on July 27. The looped course runs alongside the River Thames and features paved paths with a short grass section, suitable for all levels and ages. Participants can choose to complete a single 5K loop or push for multiple laps up to 50K or beyond. What sets this race apart is its sweet twist: fully stocked aid stations filled with cakes, treats, and refreshments, plus a cake-themed medal at the finish. It’s a lighthearted, inclusive running experience that blends endurance with dessert in true Saturn Running style.
