Phoenix Running Devon invites runners to take part in the Red Phoenix event on Sunday as part of their Exeter series. Starting at the picturesque Exeter Quayside, this race offers flexibility for all abilities and distances from 5 kilometers up to an ultra marathon. The route follows a scenic path along the Exeter Canal, offering stunning views and a flat terrain that is both fast and easy on the legs. Each lap covers approximately 3.28 miles (5.3km) in length, with runners free to complete as many laps as they wish within a seven-hour time limit. For those looking for an added touch of recognition, Phoenix Running Devon provides a distinctive Red Phoenix medal upon completion. However, recognizing the current financial climate and varying runner preferences, there is also a 'no medal' entry option available from £25, which still includes all race amenities such as digital bibs, same-day results, athlete profiles, and an epic aid station. The event's flexible start time allows participants to begin running at their preferred moment without the stress of adhering to strict schedules. Whether you're aiming for a quick 5K or pushing your limits in an ultra marathon, all runners are welcome and celebrated regardless of distance covered. With only 50 spots available, early registration is advised. The Red Phoenix on Sunday offers both scenic beauty and flexibility, making it the perfect choice for any runner looking to enjoy Exeter's charming canal path while testing their endurance at their own pace. Join us this weekend in Exeter as we celebrate runners of all abilities, from casual joggers to seasoned marathoners. Experience a race that not only challenges you physically but also immerses you in the serene beauty of the city’s waterways and historic surroundings.
