PHOENIX - NOT the London Marathon Run 2027

Sun 25th April 2027

A colorful London Marathon medal featuring Big Ben, a red double-decker bus, and the London Eye, with two patterned ribbons—one at the top and one at the bottom—against a plain background. A group of people in athletic gear gather outside The Weir pub on a sunny day. Some are seated at picnic tables while others stand and chat. The atmosphere appears relaxed and social, with greenery and a two-story building in the background. A group of people standing under a "PHOENIX Running" tent, smiling and holding up their hands in celebration. They are wearing running gear and medals, indicating participation in a running event. The background features trees and sunlight filtering through the foliage. A large group of runners begins a race on a wooded path, some wearing brightly colored shirts with numbers pinned to them. Trees line the path in the background, and it appears to be spring based on the greenery and attire of the participants.

Organiser's Description

It's NOT the LONDON Marathon Run AGAIN in 2027!

Didn't get into the London Marathon, then why not come and run with us instead and earn one of our monster-sized medals - our 2027 medal will be presented in brand new colours.

Phoenix Running are doing our bit to keep you running by hosting our NOT the London Marathon Run again in 2027. So if you want to run your NOT London Marathon amongst friends then this one is for you.

Or, perhaps you got a place in the virtual version of the London Marathon and fancy coming to run your event on a measured route at an organised event with an epic aid station and awesome bling. If you sign up for our event then you can even wear your actual London Marathon Virtual BIB on our route and we'll publish that BIB number for you in our results - how cool is that.

Our Walton on Thames route is an accurately measured & UKA certified route - Certificate No: 18/340.

This is a beautiful low key jaunt along the River Thames where runners complete 8 identical laps for the marathon distance and 4 laps for the Half Marathon, but remember - it's NOT just the London Marathon or Half because our event is also a 7 hour timed event where you can complete as many or as few laps of a 3.28 mile lap as you like so you can also run shorter distances than a half marathon or longer than a marathon.

You've trained hard - you want to run!

So come and run with us on Sunday 26th April - spaces will be very limited and this event will have flexible early starts available from 07.00am.

Our NOT London medal is a real beast at 150mm!

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.
