Welcome to 'Totally Quackerthon Friday', part of our ongoing PHOENIX Fridays series, designed for runners looking for flexibility and fun. This unique event offers an opportunity to secure one of the highly sought-after Rubber Ducky medals that have become a staple at previous PHOENIX events. While smaller in scale than our weekend offerings, this race still delivers on our signature grand prizes without compromising. The course winds along the picturesque Thames River for 5.3 kilometers (or 3.28 miles), offering runners a flat and fast out-and-back route that's perfect for all abilities. Whether you're aiming to complete one lap or push yourself further, the choice is entirely yours. The terrain features an off-road trail with no elevation changes, making it ideal for both beginners and seasoned athletes. Entry fees are slightly lower than our standard themed events, yet each participant will still receive a bespoke finisher's medal from PHOENIX’s renowned collection of big, bold, and bright bling. If you have your eye on a specific design that has eluded you in the past, feel free to contact us ahead of time—we'll do our best to bring it along. The event is open for runners looking to tackle distances ranging from 5 kilometers up to ultra marathons over multiple laps. The course allows participants to gauge their performance and adjust accordingly on race day without any prior commitment. With limited spots available, early registration is highly recommended to secure your spot in this vibrant community of runners. Join us along the serene Thames River for a memorable running experience that combines scenic beauty with an array of exciting prizes. See you there!
Note: The event will run from 7 AM until midnight or longer if needed, allowing participants ample time to explore their limits and enjoy the stunning riverside scenery at their own pace.
