PHOENIX - Leap Year - Hop to it Run

Phoenix Running offer two different courses from the Weir in Walton. The 'Blue Bridge' route takes you west along the Thames, passing over the small 'Blue Bridge' before passing under Walton Bridge before returning. The 'Hampton Court' route takes you east along the times in the direction of 'Hampton Court', passing Sunbury Locke on the way before returning. Both courses are along scenic towpaths and have no elevation gain / loss making them both fast and flat routes. The course will be confirmed one week prior to the event and dependent on factors such as planned local events and the weather.

Phoenix Running operate welcoming and inclusive events for those for all ability levels.

Free parking is available a short 5 minute walk from the start line. Details are provided in the final event information which is emailed a week prior to the event.

The event will start in the small field just before The Weir Pub on Waterside Drive or on the patio of the Weir Pub depending on the weather. Just look for the Phoenix Running marquee, you can't miss it!

The race is around 6 miles from the closest M25 junction.

Walton Station is around a 2.5 mile walk away.

Cut-offs
Here at Phoenix Running, all of our cut-offs are linear and stated in the final event information emails so you do not need to push harder in the first instance, keep to a steady pace & you will finish.
