About the race
PHOENIX Fridays - Run for a Tenner Friday takes place on Friday 05 February 2027 as part of the PHOENIX Fridays series of timed events. The event is presented as a charity run with the advertised tenner (£10) going to the Rays of Sunshine Children's Charity; listed entry prices include £10 (affiliated) and £12 (unaffiliated). Organisers describe these Friday events as smaller than their weekend events and with a lower entry fee; charity runs use a double-sided Rays of Sunshine medal and all participants receive a finishers' memento.
Participants run laps of a measured out-and-back course of 5.3 km (3.28 miles) along the river Thames on a riverside towpath. The surface is off road trail and the overall course is stated to have no elevation gain or loss, making it flat. Runners may choose how many laps to complete within the event time limit; the stated minimum distance is 3.28 miles or as far as a runner can go in 7 hours. Start times are flexible with a "rock up and run" format.
Distance options are described as multiple formats, for example:
- 5 km to 10 km
- Half marathon
- Marathon
- Ultra
Places are described as strictly limited. UK Athletics rules and age based distance restrictions apply for participants aged 20 or under. Both attended and virtual participants receive a giveaway medal or memento. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
