Manchester - Friday Frenzy
Phoenix Running Manchester is inviting you to our first Friday Frenzy Run!
Not everyone can run on a weekend, so we are trialling our first Friday run and if this proves popular, we will be back with more through the year.
This is one of our timed events where you choose - from 5km to 10k, half to marathon to ultra, you can complete as many, or as few, laps as you like of a 5.3km, 3.28 mile, out and back, course along the beautiful River Mersey. We welcome all abilities of runners - complete one lap and you're both a finisher and a winner in our eyes, or keep going and see how far you can get in the full time limit and everyone gets the fabulous bespoke finishers' medal.
Not sure? Well the beauty of this format is that you don't even need to decide in advance - simply come and run a lap and see how you feel on the day and keep on going if it feels right.
Places will be strictly limited so don't leave it too late to enter.
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.
Chosen Charity for the event: Bart's Animal Sanctuary, Manchester
We donate £1 for every finisher to a selected charity at every event.
Earliest start: 8am (registration open from 7.30am). Bibs to be collected on the day. Rock up and run option from 8am and all runners should be finished by 3.30pm.
Aid station: We have a fully stocked aid station at all our events.
