FREE - Bespoke Phoenix Christmas Jumper, Long Sleeved Technical Running Top to all runners!.

Each year on the second Friday in December businesses and schools across the country celebrate Christmas Jumper day and each year we join the fun with our Christmas Jumper Friday run. In 2024 our annual Christmas Jumper Friday Run is back yet again and this one is going to be rather special indeed because this year every runner gets a bespoke, long sleeved, tech running top, made exclusively for us by REdbEAR Sports! These absolute beauties would normally retail somewhere between £28 - £35 so Merry Christmas from us to you!

REdbEAR Sports also offer an exclusive discount code for their own rather epic and very realistic looking 'Christmas Jumper' tech running tops so if you want more than one then we'll release the discount code in our Phoenix Running Community Chat Group later in 2024.

This is one of our timed events where you choose - from 5km to 10k, half to marathon to ultra, you can complete as many, or as few, laps as you like of a 5.3km, 3.28 mile, out and back, course along the beautiful river Thames. 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.

We also operate our uniquely flexible 'rock up and run' start times within a 1 hour start window, so no waiting around if you arrive early and no added pressure if you're running a bit late. If you have any special start time requirements then just get in touch because depending on the distance you are planning to run we can pretty much accommodate all start time requests.

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 3.28 miles or as far as you can go in 6 hours. Off road trail, the terrain is riverside towpath. The overall course has no elevation gain / loss making this a flat and fast route.
