PHOENIX Fridays - Run for a Tenner Friday - November
About the Event
Step into the vibrant world of PHOENIX Fridays with our special "Run for a Tenner" edition, offering runners an unforgettable experience along the picturesque banks of the River Thames. This unique event, which costs just £10 and raises funds for Rays of Sunshine Children's Charity, invites participants to join in on any Friday at their leisure. The Run for a Tenner is part of our ongoing PHOENIX Fridays series, featuring flexible start times that cater to every runner’s schedule. Whether you're looking for a quick 5km jog or aiming to push yourself further with multiple laps, the event accommodates all levels and goals. The course itself spans an out-and-back route along the river Thames, covering a distance of 3.28 miles (or approximately 5.3 kilometers). This flat terrain offers runners a smooth, fast-paced experience on a well-maintained riverside towpath. One of the highlights is undoubtedly the stunning double-sided Rays of Sunshine medal that every finisher receives, no matter how many laps they complete or what distance they cover. The event’s relaxed format allows participants to start with one lap and continue as long as they feel comfortable, making it perfect for those who prefer a spontaneous approach. With strict limits on entries to ensure everyone has the best possible experience, this is an opportunity not to be missed. Whether you're in for a casual run or aiming to maximize your distance over seven hours, PHOENIX Fridays invites all abilities and welcomes runners with open arms along its scenic route. Join us as we raise funds while enjoying one of London’s most beautiful settings – the Thames riverside trail. The event promises an atmosphere that is both supportive and inspiring, making it a perfect way to kick off your weekend on a positive note for a great cause.
