PHOENIX - Five in Five Duck n Run Series 2026

Immerse yourself in the whimsical world of running with Phoenix's Duck n Run - Totally Quackers Fiver in Five (FiFi) Summer Race Series, set to take place from Thursday, August 27th through Bank Holiday Monday, September 1st, 2026. This unique event is part of a larger Rubber Ducky Ten in Ten series that culminates in an exhilarating finale on the final day.
Each day of this five-day adventure offers runners a chance to collect one giant spinning ducky medal and a themed rubber duck, with each piece of bling boasting its own distinctive color. The ducks themselves range from Duck Dastardly to Mucky, Lucky, Plucky, and ucky Ducky – all designed to delight participants as they complete their daily challenges.
The series kicks off at the picturesque Thames Path in Walton on Thames (postcode KT12 2JB), starting right outside the Weir Pub. Participants will have access to two carefully selected routes along the River Thames that are both UKA/IAAF measured and certified, ensuring accuracy for all runners aiming to achieve personal bests or long-distance feats.
Runners can choose from four distance options: Half Marathon (5 hours), Full Marathon (7 hours), Ultra Marathon (up to 9 hours), and a Timed Event with flexible distances. Each day offers up to nine hours of running time, allowing for flexibility in pacing and endurance testing.
The event's aid station, affectionately known as the "duck shop," is renowned for its array of sweet treats, savory snacks, and an abundance of cake – all designed to keep runners fueled throughout their daily challenges. Participants are encouraged to explore various accommodation options nearby if they plan on making a weekend out of it.
For those who sign up early before midnight on May 4th (the end of the first bank holiday), there's a special offer: complete all five days, and you'll receive an additional nine themed rubber ducks as part of our '10-4 Good Buddy' promotion. This brings your total collection to fourteen unique ducks.
The series is open to runners of all abilities, from casual joggers who aim for one lap per day to seasoned marathoners looking to push their limits over multiple days and distances. The flat and fast route along the river towpath provides a scenic backdrop that complements every runner's effort, whether they're tackling a half-marathon or pushing through an ultra distance.
Upon completion of each daily run, participants can look forward to receiving both their medal and rubber duck at the finish line. Additionally, for those who complete all five days, there are exclusive FiFi Finishers T-shirts available in Half-Marathon, Marathon, and Ultra categories – a perfect memento to celebrate your achievement.
