The deadline to register for the Thames Path Mighty Hike is the 3 July 2021 or when the event sells out.

It is possible to transfer between the full marathon and half marathon distances. Please know that if you request to transfer to the lower distance the £5 difference in registration fees will not be refunded.

Transferring between distances is not possible if the request is made less than 2 weeks before the event as registration will be closed or if the event is sold out.

If you wish to change from the half marathon to the full marathon, we will ask you to pay the £5 difference in registration fees.

If the event is full, and you would like to take part, you should filll out your details by clicking through at the top of this page, and you will be added to the waiting list.

The waiting list works on a first come first serve basis, and will offer out places when a participant has to drop out for any reason. When you get to the top of the list and a place becomes available for you, you will be emailed with an invite to register. You must use the link in this email to register within 7 days, or the link will expire. If you no longer wish to take part, you can decline the invite and the place will be offered to the next person on the waiting list.

We absolutely appreciate supporters are motivated to join our Mighty Hikes because of very personal connections to Macmillan. With this in mind, we recommend you join the waiting list as soon as possible, which will give you the best chance of securing a place on the event. We believe this is the fairest way to guarantee everyone has an equal chance of being invited to join the event.

There is a 10% discount on the registration fee for teams of 5+. The discount code is generated when you complete the registration form which you need to enter in the promotional code box before proceeding to payment.

Complimentary coaches will be running from Marsh Meadow back to Windsor Racecourse from 1pm to 5pm. 

It is a 10-minute taxi ride from Windsor & Eton Riverside and Windsor & Eton Station to the start at Windsor Racecourse.

The half marathon will set off in waves 20 minutes apart between 10.50am and 11.10am. 

The Event Village will be open between 5pm and 7pm on the Friday evening before the event, and will re-open between 7.10am and 10.10am on event day.

This will be open for the information desk, shop, kit swap and missing event packs.

We ask everyone to arrive 45 minutes before their start time and no earlier.

We estimate that the fastest half marathon walkers will finish in 4 hours while the slowest walkers could take around 6 hours. Due to venue restrictions we have to start closing our finish area at 6pm.

Therefore, when you choose your start time, please select an earlier wave if you consider yourself a slower walker and a later wave if you consider yourself a faster walker.

This year, your event pack will be posted nearer the event. This will contain your bib number, so you’re all set for your Mighty Hike.
