Great event, extremely well organised and executed. Lovely course to run alongside the river Thames and a fantastic finishers medal to boot. Can’t recommend phoenix events highly enough.

It was great fun, a fairly small event but very well organized and great friendly atmosphere. Love the idea that you literally show up and start when you want and run what ever distance you want. Also a fantastic medal!!
