Each event is a standalone run with a fabulous medal - there are 10 to collect. 

This event is one of our timed events where you choose - from 5km to 10k to Half Marathon. You can complete up to 4 laps of a 5k / 5.3km, 3.28 mile, out and back, course along the beautiful river Thames. We welcome all abilities of runner - complete one 5k lap for the 5k, two laps for the 10k, or 4 of our 5.3k laps for the Half Marathon and everyone gets the fabulous bespoke finishers' medal. 

We also operate our uniquely flexible 'rock up and run' start times within a 1 hour start window, so no waiting around if you arrive early and no added pressure if you're running a bit late. Ideally we'll start everyone at 7.00pm, but if you want come along bit later then that's absolutely fine, we can start you when you arrive - these are races that fit around you. If you do have any special start time requirements then just get in touch via email because depending on the distance you're planning to run we can pretty much accommodate all start time requests. 

Whilst Phoenix Running is very much about the bling and our medals are second to none, we're also acutely conscious that events can be expensive to enter and times are tough right now. We're now in our 9th year of fixed prices for our standard themed events, but to try and do our bit we're offering a 'no medal' entry option at an unbelievable £10 for affiliated entries. You will still get a run with all the usual Phoenix support, same day results published, athletes profiles, Phoenix World, digital BIBs, digital finishers certificates, etc, but if you don't want a medal then we can keep the price super-low for this entry option. 

Places will be strictly limited so don't leave it too late to enter. 

Off road trail, the terrain is riverside towpath. The overall course has no elevation gain / loss making this a flat and fast route.

We provide a physical running service and by entering our events you are purchasing an actual run, either by attending our events or by running the event virtually yourself. All participants in our events, both attended and virtual, will receive a free giveaway medal / memento from your run.
