Join Phoenix Running for an extraordinary experience at our Fluffy Phoenix event, where runners can take home more than just memories. The first 50 registrants will receive both the brand-new black and yellow Phoenix 'plushie' toy and one of our sought-after Feisty Phoenix 'mini-me' medals—a rare opportunity to double your rewards. This unique timed event offers flexibility for all abilities, allowing you to choose from a range of distances: 5km, 10k, half marathon, full marathon, or even an ultra distance. The course is a scenic out-and-back route along the picturesque River Thames, spanning 3.28 miles (5.3 kilometers) in length. Runners can complete as many laps as they desire within the generous 7-hour time limit. The event's flexibility extends to start times too; participants have a one-hour window during which they can begin their run whenever it suits them best—whether you arrive early or need extra preparation, your needs are accommodated. If there’s any specific timing requirement due to personal circumstances, feel free to reach out for tailored assistance. Phoenix Running is renowned for its distinctive medal designs and race bling, but we understand the importance of affordability in these challenging times. To make running more accessible, we’re introducing a 'no medal' entry option priced at just £20. This allows you to enjoy all the usual Phoenix support features—such as an epic aid station, same-day results publication, digital bibs and finisher certificates—without the cost of a physical medal. The event’s terrain is off-road trail along a flat riverside towpath with no elevation changes, making it ideal for both speed runners looking to set personal best times and those seeking a leisurely jog through natural beauty. The course's flatness ensures that every step you take contributes directly towards your distance goals without the added challenge of hills. With limited spots available, securing an entry is crucial to ensure you’re part of this memorable experience. Whether you aim for just one lap or push yourself to see how far you can go in 7 hours, the Fluffy Phoenix offers a unique blend of reward and flexibility that caters to every runner’s aspirations. Join us at the Fluffy Phoenix event where your journey along the Thames is more than just a run—it's an adventure filled with unexpected rewards and scenic beauty.
