About the Event

Dive into the sweet world of running with Phoenix Running's 'Cakeathon' – where every stride is met with a burst of flavor! Whether you're an avid baker or simply enjoy indulging, this unique race offers something for everyone. The event features an array of homemade treats at its aid stations, inviting participants to bring along their own delicious creations, from cupcakes and cookies to decadent fudge. Trophies will be awarded to the top three bakes as judged by none other than Phoenix Running’s founder.
The 'Cakeathon' offers a flexible route choice that caters to all levels of runners. You can choose between distances ranging from 5km to ultra marathon, completing laps on a stunning 5.3 km (3.28 mile) out-and-back course along the picturesque River Thames. The flat and fast terrain ensures an enjoyable experience for everyone, with no elevation changes adding any undue challenge.
Participants have seven hours to complete as many or as few laps as they desire within this timeframe. This flexibility allows you to set your own pace and goals – whether that means pushing yourself to see how far you can go or simply enjoying a leisurely run through the scenic Thames landscape. The event's 'rock up and run' format provides a one-hour start window, ensuring there’s no waiting around if you arrive early.
In addition to the sweet treats at every aid station, runners will receive a bespoke finishers’ medal upon completion of their chosen distance or lap count. For those looking for an affordable entry option, Phoenix Running offers a 'no medal' choice priced at £20, which includes all event amenities and services without the cost of a physical medal.
With its unique blend of running and baking competition, coupled with stunning river views and flexible start times, the Cakeathon promises to be not just another run but an unforgettable experience. Don't miss out on this sweet adventure – sign up now before spots fill up!
