Organiser's Description
Phoenix Running Manchester is inviting you to join us for our first 'Bobble Wobble' down on the River Mersey towpath this festive season and as always we're introducing a Brand New colour for our Manchester run!
Our 2025 bobble hat is simply gorgeous; presented in Black with yellow Phoenix, embroidery. This is a very high quality, double-lined, nice and warm, bobble hat. These really are lovely and all finishers receive a hat and medal as part of the entry.
We will have a rock up and run option, so you can start any time 8.00am onwards, there is no pressure to start at a particular time. If you have any further requests on the start times, please just email us in advance and we will do our best to accommodate everyone.
Not sure on the distance? 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.
Parkrun compatible: Our Saturday runs are parkrun compatible, so you can show us your parkrun time and we will include it as a lap for you in your overall distance.
Chosen charity:
Flock and Fluff Charity who rescue, rehabilitate and rehome unwanted, and abandoned animals, from small farm animals to horses, cats, alpacas, chickens and more, giving them a second chance at a happy life.
