About the Event

Join Phoenix Running Bedfordshire for an unforgettable Gingerbread Run on December 20, 2026! This timed event offers runners the flexibility to choose their distance and pace, with options ranging from a single lap of 3.28 miles (5.3km) around Millennium Country Park's scenic reservoir to as many laps as you can complete within a six-hour time limit.
The course winds through varied terrain but remains flat throughout, providing an ideal setting for runners looking to push their limits or enjoy the festive atmosphere at a leisurely pace. Registration opens at 9:00 am with a mass start at 9:30 am, ensuring everyone has ample opportunity to warm up and prepare.
Phoenix Running Bedfordshire is known for its vibrant community spirit and top-notch support services. Runners can expect well-stocked aid stations throughout the course, same-day results publication, athlete profiles on their digital platform Phoenix World, and more—all designed to enhance your running experience.
Participants who complete at least one lap will receive a bespoke finisher's medal as a token of appreciation for taking part in this unique event. However, if you're looking to keep costs down while still enjoying the benefits of being part of the community, consider our "no medal" entry option priced at just £20. This includes all standard amenities but without the physical medal.
With only 75 spots available, securing your place early is crucial to avoid disappointment. Whether it's a chilly winter morning jog or an ambitious attempt to maximize distance and time on course, the Gingerbread Run offers something for every runner. Don't miss out on this festive opportunity!
