Organiser's Description

We are absolutely delighted to announce that Runbelievable Challenges and Phoenix Running will be working in collaboration to bring you the winter 10in10 run series at the Cyclopark in Kent. This is a 10in10 running partnership between Runbelievable & Phoenix and very much in the spirit of SVN who created this epic winter series, held in the latter part of November each year.

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!

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"

We'll 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 7 hours. Off road trail, the terrain is good trails and tarmac pathways. The overall course has some elevation gain on each lap.
