The left sweater is red and green with white snowflakes, the right sweater is blue with white reindeer and Christmas trees. A group of runners stands in front of a "PHOENIX Running" tent, smiling and holding their hands up in celebration. They are wearing athletic clothing and medals around their necks, with trees providing shade in the background. A group of people in athletic wear gather outdoors on a sunny day outside a pub named "The Weir." Some are sitting at picnic tables, while others stand and chat. The pub is a two-story building with a mix of brick and timber framing. A diverse group of runners wearing numbered bibs and sports attire participate in an outdoor marathon, running on a path surrounded by trees and greenery. Several runners are leading the pack, while others follow closely behind. The atmosphere appears energetic and competitive. A group of 15 runners in athletic attire pose for a photo outdoors, with a river and trees in the background. They are wearing medals and some are kneeling while others stand. One person lies on the ground in front of the group, smiling. It is a sunny day.

Organiser's Description

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 2023 our annual Christmas Jumper Friday Run is back and with our new Christmas Jumper medal too. And, as if that wasn't enough, we'll be teaming up with REdbEAR Sports again this year to offer an exclusive discount code for their rather epic, and very realistic looking 'Christmas Jumper' tech running tops. We'll release the discount code in our Phoenix Running Community Chat Group later in 2023.

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.

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 8th year of fixed prices for our standard themed events. 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.

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.
