Organiser's description
Phoenix Running is inviting you to join us in Gravesend, Kent for our very first solo weekend hosting running events from the brilliant facilities at the Cyclopark. And, as if that wasn't enough we have a brand new, Lions & Tigers & Bears, Oh My medal of epic proportions.
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, looped, course around the trails near the Cyclopark. You can even include the local parkrun as your first lap because we coordinate our start time with them - win, win! 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.
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 7 hours. Undulating off road trail, the terrain is a mixture of smooth tarmac and off road trails.
