PHOENIX - Ten in Ten Commandments Day 1
Sat 16th November 2024
Starting at 09:00
1 race
£39.95
Organiser's Description
The event theme will be based on 10 Running Commandments - each day will be a different commandment 'tablet medal and were going to have a competition in our chat groups for you to suggest running related commandments. Things like, 'Thou shalt not covet thy neighbours running shoes, or 'Thou shalt never forget to Vaseline thy important parts. The best 10 running commandments will be immortalised on our medals - 10 medals, 10 days, making up a rather awesome set of bling!
There will be a finisher shirt too which we'll order after the event is complete. The artwork for this is to be finalised and well share this as soon as we have it - rest assured it will be awesome.
It is also an option to either do the whole series as a virtual series, or if you can only make a number of the days, to do the remaining ones as virtual runs (just a minimum of 1 mile required to maintain the sequence) so for example it would be fine to run in person on the weekend days and then run the week day events virtually, possibly avoiding the need to take any holiday days.
Routes:
We're going to use 2 routes from the Cyclopark for the 10 days:
The 3.28 Mile "Lightning Bolt" Route (parkrun option)
The 5.25 Mile "177 Route"
Well confirm exactly which routes were using on which day a little nearer the time.
Accommodation
There are three hotels within walking distance and a Travelodge across the road making things as simple as possible. Each day will be a six hour challenge event, what distance you run each day is totally up to you.
We're keeping these events competitively priced to try to make them as accessible as possible. We're also trying to make them as logistically straightforward as possible for everyone. We're not going to have goody bags for these events, but they will certainly be of the very high standard we hope you expect from Runbelievable & Phoenix, inclusive, friendly, awesome aid stations and super-supportive.
We hope you'll consider joining us for one or all of these events.
Places will be strictly limited so don't leave it too late to enter.
Minimum distance is 3.28 miles / 5.25 miles or as far as you can go in 6 hours. Off road trail, the terrain is good trails and tarmac pathways. The overall course has some elevation gain on each lap.
