PHOENIX - Cambridgeshire - KiSS CHARITY RUN

Phoenix Running Cambridgeshire would love you to join us on our second collaboration with the Saint John Henry Newman Catholic School and their chosen charity, KiSS.

We will be joined by staff, pupils, family and friends from John Henry Newman secondary school in Stevenage. They are raising money for their chosen charity, KiSS, who will also be in attendance. KiSS do amazing work with children and their families in Uganda, helping them with education, their health and wellbeing, alongside working to improve their communities. Their aim is simple, they want to support children and families in Uganda with access to education and empower them to transform their communities.

KiSS is a small but powerful charity, with your support, we can do even more. You can learn more about them here...... https://www.kiddiessupportscheme.org/

In addition to the fundraising by John Henry Newman School, Phoenix Running Cambridgeshire will be donating £5 from every entry we receive, so please, join us in Riverside Park St Neots on Sunday 18th October for a day of running, chatter and laughs along the River Great Ouse, all for an awesome cause.

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 around Regatta Meadow, Riverside Park and the River Great Ouse in St Neots. 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 6 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.

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 9th 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.

Start anytime between 08:00am and 09:00am (registration open from 7.30am). Minimum distance is 3.28 miles or as far as you can go in 6 hours. Tarmac cycle paths and small section of gravel path. The overall course has minimal elevation gain / loss making this a relatively flat and fast route.

Please note, as per UK Athletics rules, distance restrictions apply to participants ages 20 or under, for more information please read our full terms & conditions available here - https://www.phoenixrunning.co.uk/tandc

We provide a physical running service and by entering our events you are purchasing an actual run, either by attending our events or by running the event virtually yourself. All participants in our events, both attended and virtual, will receive a free giveaway medal / memento from your run.
