PHOENIX - South Wales - D-Day Military Series Run

Sat 12th June 2027

Four commemorative medals for VE Day, D-Day, Battle of Britain, and Pearl Harbor, each with related images, dates, and British flag backgrounds, are shown side by side with corresponding event ribbons attached.

Organiser's Description

On Saturday 12th June 2027 we're inviting you to the second event in our series of four military themed events honouring some of the most influential and critical dates from WWII. D-Day military series run is in Parc Taf Bargoed.

Each event is a standalone run with a truly epic 160mm tall medal, but if you complete all four events the medals combine into one 320mm wide x 160mm tall mural with a flag background.

This is one of our timed events where you choose how far to go - 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 through Parc Taf Bargoed, a Green Flag park offering visitors access to an area of exquisite beauty and spectacular views shaped by the area's industrial past and recent redevelopment.

We welcome runners and walkers alike. 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 . Everyone gets the fabulous bespoke finishers medal, if applicable.

We operate our uniquely flexible 'rock up and run' start times so there is no waiting around if you arrive early and no added pressure if you're running a bit late. If you have any special start time requirements, get in touch, and depending on the distance you plan to run, we will try to accommodate all start time requests.

Here at Phoenix Running South Wales, we pride ourselves on providing the very best race bling to highlight your achievement however we are conscious that events can be expensive to enter, and times are tough right now.  We are therefore trialling a no medal entry option from £20.  We cover our base costs, and you get all the usual Phoenix support, epic aid station, same-day results, athlete's profiles, Phoenix World, digital bibs, digital finishers certificates, and so on, but not having a medal means we can keep the price low for this entry option.

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.
