PHOENIX Fridays - Chilly Willy Friday

Fri 17th January 2025

A vibrant illustration of a fiery phoenix with outstretched wings against a dramatic sky. Text reads "PHOENIX Friday's" above and "Chilly Willy Friday" below the phoenix. 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

Continuing the 'PHOENIX Fridays', a series of Friday running events with flexible 'rock up and run' start times to suit you, here's our 'Chilly Willy Friday' - Thank Phoenix it's Friday!

These events are a little smaller than our weekend events and the entry fee a little less than our standard themed entry, but with no compromise on our legendary medals. We'll have a selection of our usual big, bold, bright and epic bling for you to choose from at each of the PHOENIX Fridays and if there's a specific medal you've been after for a while or one you missed out on from one of our previous events then just drop us an email and we'll see if we can bring that one along for you.

The PHOENIX Fridays are a series 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 time limit and everyone gets a fabulous bespoke finishers' medal from our awesome selection.

Not sure? Well the beauty of this format is that you don't even need to decide in advance οΏ½ 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 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.
