Phoenix Running – Skull Runner/Halloween Special
Phoenix Running – Skull Runner/Halloween SpecialThis one has been a along time in the planning and we really didn’t think it was going to happen this year, so we’re absolutely delighted to have been granted permission by Denbies Wine Estate to hold a properly spooky Halloween run on October 31st 2020.
Fancy dress is of course optional. The medal is simply epic and something we’ve (OK, I’ve) been wanting to do for a long, long time – think BIG, think CHROME, think SKULL. And then think Phoenix BLING!
This is a multi-distance event – 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, one-way looped course around the beautiful Denbies Wine Estate within the overall time limit. We welcome all abilities of runner – complete one loop 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 8 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
7.45am (flexible starts times from 7.45am). Minimum distance is 3.28 miles or as far as you can go in 7 hours. Off road trail, through the wine estate with the odd hill thrown in.
PHOENIX Running Denbies 10 (Note change of date)
Saturday 28 March 2020 POSTPONED DATE TBC
Phoenix Running are delighted to be putting on their first ever ‘Denbies 10’ – a picturesque 10 mile run around the beautiful Denbies Wine Estate and surrounding Surrey Hills and absolutely ideal timing for those wanting to put in a pre-London Marathon training run.
Denbies also hosts parkrun, so you could come and run a parkrun first and then join us for your second run of the day.
And, as you’d expect from Phoenix Running, the medal for this isn’t just your average 10 mile finisher’s medal either. This is a heavyweight, freestanding, 12mm thick medal presented in a high polished black nickel finish.
This is a 10 mile fixed distance event – there is also a 20 mile option. We welcome absolutely all abilities of runner – if you run with us you’re both a finisher and a winner in our eyes and everyone gets the fabulous bespoke finishers’ medal.
Places will be strictly limited so don’t leave it too late to enter.
Off road trail, through the wine estate with the odd hill thrown in – undulating and hilly.
There is NO ‘on the day entry’.
