About the Event

Join Phoenix Running Cambridgeshire for an invigorating post-Christmas run around the picturesque Grafham Water, where you can shake off those festive treats with some well-deserved exercise. This unique timed event offers runners of all abilities a flexible and enjoyable experience, allowing participants to choose their own distance from 5km up to ultra distances over a stunning out-and-back course that spans 3.28 miles (5.3 kilometers).
The route winds through the serene landscapes surrounding Grafham Water, featuring mostly tarmac cycle paths with just a short section of gravel for added variety. The minimal elevation changes along this flat and fast path make it ideal for testing your stamina or setting personal records.
One of the key highlights is the freedom to run as many laps as you wish within a six-hour window starting anytime between 8:00 AM and 9:00 AM, with registration opening at 7:30 AM. This flexible start time ensures that runners can arrive when it suits them best, whether they prefer an early morning or late beginning.
Upon crossing the finish line, all participants receive a specially designed Phoenix Christmas Gonk medal to commemorate their achievement. The event encourages everyone from casual joggers looking for a single lap challenge to more serious athletes aiming to push their limits over multiple laps and distances.
With limited spots available, it's best not to delay in securing your entry to this festive running adventure that promises scenic views, friendly competition, and the chance to burn off those holiday indulgences.
