A square medal with a metallic finish depicts a stylized bird with black and pink feathers in mid-flight. The background is adorned with pink star-like shapes. The medal hangs from a black ribbon with the word "PHOENIX" in pink letters. The wood texture backdrop enhances the design. A group of runners pose together under a "PHOENIX Running" tent. They are smiling, waving, and wearing medals around their necks. The group includes both men and women dressed in a variety of athletic attire, with trees and greenery in the background. A group of people in athletic clothing are gathered outside "The Weir" pub on a sunny day. Some are sitting at picnic tables, while others stand and chat. Several bags and bottles are visible. The scene suggests a social gathering, possibly after a sports event. A crowd of runners, wearing numbered bibs and athletic gear, participate in the Phoenix Spring Marathon 2017.

Organiser's Description

Our very popular evening series of three events is back for 2024 - the Dark Phoenix, Black Phoenix & Night Phoenix.

First up, 'The Dark Phoenix', evening event will be held on the same day as our Hercules Labour 10 on Saturday 15th June so there is the opportunity to run two events with us on the same day and earn one our awesome, glow in the dark, huge Dark Phoenix medals. The atmosphere at our evening runs is really lovely.

So come and join us for one of our very popular timed events, with a marathon specific option, where you choose from 5km to 10km, half marathon to ultra marathon, 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.

We also operate our uniquely flexible 'rock up and run' start times within a 1.5 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.

Running will start from 2:30pm to 4.00pm and there is the potential to finish at dusk or in the dark depending on how quickly and how far you run.

There will, of course, be the awesome glow in the dark bling!

Don't forget - you must use a head torch if running after 9.15pm. We highly advise that all runners bring a head torch, even if you expect to be finished before this time.

There is a 7 hour cut off, so ideally all runners will be finished by 10pm.

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 7 hours. Off road trail, the terrain is riverside towpath. The overall course has no elevation gain / loss making this a flat and fast route.
