Phoenix Running - Kent - Duckython - Pluck a Ducky
Phoenix Running stages a themed timed event at Gravesend Cyclopark in Kent on Saturday 12 September 2026. The event combines lap-based running with a novelty "pluck a duck" element: the first 100 entries may draw a bespoke rubber duck from a bag, and one golden duck in the bag awards a free future race entry. Every participant receives a 130 mm spinning Run Ducky Run finisher medal.
The format uses a looped course of 5.3 km (3.28 miles) that mixes smooth tarmac and off-road trails. Runners choose how many laps to complete within a seven hour limit; the minimum recorded distance is one loop. Organisers coordinate timing so a local parkrun can be included as a first lap if registered with the event.
Available distance options include:
- 5 km
- 10 km
- Half marathon
- Marathon
- Ultramarathon
Entry options and services are offered at different price points, including an option without a medal or ducky priced at £20. Standard entry prices shown include an affiliated rate and an unaffiliated rate. The event provides aid stations, timing and same-day results, athlete profiles, digital bibs and digital finisher certificates. Distance restrictions apply to participants aged 20 or under in line with UK Athletics rules. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
