NOT the London Marathon Run

Didn't get into the London Marathon, then why not come and run with us instead and earn one of our monster-sized medals? Phoenix Running are doing our bit to keep you running by hosting our NOT the London Marathon Run - AGAIN, again, again, again in 2024. So if you want to run your NOT London Marathon amongst friends then this one is for you. Or, perhaps you got a place in the virtual version of the London Marathon and fancy coming to run your event on a measured route at an organised event with an epic aid station and awesome bling. If you sign up for our event then you can even wear your actual London Marathon Virtual BIB on our route and we'll publish that BIB number for you in our results - how cool is that. Our Walton on Thames route is an accurately measured & UKA certified route - Certificate No: 18/340. This is a beautiful low key jaunt along the River Thames where runners complete 8 identical laps for the marathon distance and 4 laps for the Half Marathon, but remember - it's NOT just the London Marathon or Half because our event is also a 7 hour timed event where you can complete as many or as few laps of a 3.28 mile lap as you like so you can also run shorter distances than a half marathon or longer than a marathon. You've trained hard - you want to run! So come and run with us - spaces will be very limited and this event will have flexible early starts available. Our NOT London medal is a real beast at 150mm! Minimum distance is 3.28 miles or as far as you can go in 7 hours. Off road trail, the terrain is riverside towpath. The overall course has no elevation gain / loss making this a flat and fast route.
