Experience the whimsical charm of Phoenix Running's latest addition to their lineup: 'Duckython - MUCKY Ducky'. This unique event offers runners an array of options, from a leisurely 5km jaunt to tackling ultra distances across a picturesque course along the River Thames. The first 100 registrants will be treated to a special gift—a real rubber ducky straight out of our sack. Every participant, regardless of distance covered, receives a stunning 130mm spinning Mucky Ducky medal designed from sketches by Phoenix Running's youngest member, featuring her favorite rubber duckies. The route itself is an inviting 5.3km loop that stretches along the riverfront, offering breathtaking views and a flat terrain perfect for runners at all levels. The course’s out-and-back layout allows participants to enjoy stunning vistas in both directions. With a total race duration of seven hours, you can set your own pace and distance goal. Entry is flexible with no rigid start times; instead, there's a 1.5-hour window where you can begin running at any point that suits your schedule. Whether you're aiming for just one lap or planning to push yourself further, the event accommodates all runners’ needs without unnecessary waiting periods. Phoenix Running prides itself on its distinctive finisher medals and quirky themes, but it also understands the importance of accessibility during challenging times. For those looking to keep costs down while still enjoying a quality run, they offer a 'no medal / no ducky' entry option at £20. This allows you to participate in all aspects of the event—aid stations, results publication, digital BIBs, and finisher certificates—without the cost of a custom medal. The atmosphere is warm and inviting with plenty of support along the way from enthusiastic volunteers and fellow runners. As distances vary widely, so too do the opportunities for personal achievement. Whether you’re after a fun run or pushing your limits, Duckython - MUCKY Ducky offers something special for everyone involved. Join us at this charming event where rubber duckies meet running enthusiasts in one of London's most scenic locations. Don't miss out on securing your spot as places are limited and the early bird incentives won’t last long!
