Introducing our 'Phoenix Kingfisher Run', with a brand new medal - the next in our epic series of giant spinning medals. This event will be hosted from the Cyclopark in Kent with its brilliant facilities and is certified as 'road' on a measured route. This is one of our timed events where you choose - from 5 miles to 10 miles, half to marathon to ultra, you can complete as many, or as few, laps as you like of an 8.5 km, 5.25 mile, out and back, course around the tarmac tracks near the Cyclopark. We welcome all abilities of runner - complete one lap and you're both a finisher and a winner in our eyes, or keep going and see how far you can get in the full 7 hour time limit and everyone gets the fabulous bespoke finishers' medal. Whilst Phoenix Running is very much about the bling and our medals are second to none, we're also acutely conscious that events can be expensive to enter and times are tough right now. We're now in our 13th year of fixed prices for our standard themed events, but to try and do our bit we're trailing a 'no medal' entry option at a flat £22. We cover our base costs, you get a run with all the usual Phoenix support, epic aid station, same day results published, athletes profiles, Phoenix World, digital BIBs, digital finishers certificates, etc, etc but without a medal we can keep the price low for this entry option. Not sure? Well the beauty of this format is that you don't even need to decide in advance - simply come and run a lap and see how you feel on the day and keep on going if it feels right. Places will be strictly limited so don't leave it too late to enter. Minimum distance is 5.25 miles or as far as you can go in 7 hours. Road - undulating, smooth tarmac.
