Phoenix Remembrance Day Marathon and Half Marathon
Phoenix Running stages the Remembrance Day Marathon and Half Marathon on Sunday 08 November 2026 at Xcel SPORTS HUB Stadium, Waterside Drive, Walton on Thames, Surrey. The event marks its 10th edition and includes both marathon and half marathon options.
- Marathon: four out-and-back laps on the riverside towpath
- Half marathon: two out-and-back laps on the same towpath
The course is off road on a riverside towpath. The organiser states the route has no elevation gain or loss, making it a flat course. Entry fees are listed as £37.95 for affiliated entrants and £39.95 for unaffiliated entrants; the fee is the same for both distances and participants select their distance during entry.
A central feature of the event is a planned two minute race pause for a Remembrance silence, signalled by horn blasts and observed by all participants. The organiser also notes additional commemorative items for the first 100 entries and that all participants, whether attending or running virtually, will receive a physical medal or memento. Places are described as strictly limited and previous editions have sold out in advance.
Distance restrictions apply to participants aged 20 or under under UK Athletics rules; entrants should consult the organiser's terms and conditions for details. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
