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’.
