Phoenix Running Hampshire is inviting you to join us along The Itchen Way in Winchester for our 'Independence Weekend Run Day 1' event. There will be an American theme to the events and fancy dress is encouraged. Trophies will be awarded for the categories - 'Best Dressed', 'Funniest Costume', and 'Most Patriotic'. The course has been professionally measured and has a Road Permit for this event. So, if you need a 'Road Marathon', or prefer to run on a beautiful smooth course without getting your trainers all muddy, then this is the course for you! The course is an out/back along the beautiful Itchen Way, crossing over the Hockley Viaduct, and back.
This is one of our timed events where you choose from one 2.62 mile out/back, to as many as you wish in 7 hours. Five for a Half Marathon, ten for a Marathon, and eleven or more for an Ultra. There's no need to decide how far you're going to run in advance, see how you feel on the day and then decide. We welcome all abilities of runners - complete one lap and you're a winner in our eyes or keep going and see how far you can get in the full 7 hour time limit and everyone gets the fabulous bespoke finisher's medal. Our aid station is also famous for all its sweet and savoury goodies and signature POTATOES, we will always provide plenty of Vegan options too, so you won't go hungry!
We operate our uniquely flexible rock up and run start times, so no waiting around if you arrive early and no added pressure if you're running a bit late. The official start time is at 0800, but you are welcome to start anytime up till 1300. Give yourself plenty of time to complete the distance of your choice, as the course will close at 1500.
