PHOENIX - Frozen Phoenix

Tue 29th December 2026

Snow-covered icy landscape with jagged ice formations against a cloudy sky. Large chunks of ice are scattered across a frozen surface. The words "Frozen Phoenix" are written in bold black letters at the top. A group of nine people, wearing running gear and medals, pose in front of a "PHOENIX Running" tent with their hands raised in celebration. They are outdoors, surrounded by trees, and all appear happy and triumphant. A group of runners, dressed in athletic gear, gather outside a pub named "The Weir". Some are sitting at picnic tables while others stand and chat. The background shows the pub building and lush greenery, suggesting a social gathering or post-race event. A group of sixteen people wearing running gear poses together outdoors on a pathway by a body of water with trees in the background. Some are sitting or kneeling in the front, and others are standing behind them. They are smiling and displaying medals.

Organiser's Description

What better way to work off some the Christmas excess than to join us for a run or two (or even three) in that 'gap' between Christmas and New Year - tis our Twixmas Triple.

Back by popular demand is our annual Frozen Phoenix, now in its tenth year, meaning, of course, you could come and do our Year End Marathon or Half on the 28th and Winter Runderland on 30th for a cheeky little Twixmas triple!

So come and join us for one of our Frozen timed events, with a marathon specific option, where you choose from 5km 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 time limit and everyone gets the fabulous bespoke finishers' medal.

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.

The medals for this event will be a mixture of some of our best medals from across the year.

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 canal and riverside towpath. The overall course has no elevation gain / loss making this a flat and fast route.
