Our Numbers Game Marathon Double is back.
Now, if theres something we like here at Phoenix Running (if you hadnt noticed) its a BIG medal. We also like to collect our race numbers from events that we run in ourselves. When youve run a marathon or two with your race number flapping in the wind, it somehow feels right for them to be part of things. So that got us thinking What about a race number that actually becomes part of your finishers medal. and there you have it our race number / medal combo.

Two separate marathons on two days - Saturday and Sunday - from the Xcel Leisure Centre, Walton on Thames.

The Ranscombe Autumn Triple brings you three different Challenges, each with a time limit of eight hours to run as many 3.8 - 6.5 mile laps as you can or want!! The Ranscombe Autumn Challenge follows the 'classic' Ranscombe loop of around 3.8 miles, hopefully with the addition of beautiful autumnal colours on a lovely late October day! There are hills, the North Downs Way crosses part of the reserve, and being totally on trail there is the chance of a bit of mud, but well stocked aid stations, a unique custom made medal each day, and a goody bag that actually contains goodies, will make the undulations and any mud more than worth it. (It's chalk downlands which do drain pretty well!)

This is a beautiful low key jaunt along the River Thames from Walton on Thames to Hampton Court and back. Runners complete 4 identical laps for the full marathon distance.

The Event is a multiple lap comprising three distances (Half Marathon, Full Marathon and Ultra Marathon 50km plus) all starting at Sunrise and finishing by Sunset. There is also a 10km race that happens on the same day. Each lap is officially measured at 2.014k and is registered as the Fauja Singh Training Course. There is a feeding station at the start/finish of each lap.

The Virgin Money London Marathon is one of the six World Marathon Majors and the undisputed king of the UK race calendar. Over 400,000 hopefuls went into the ballot for the 2019 event - a new record.

The famous route takes athletes past London's historic sites, and crowds that have to be seen to be believed. In 2016 runners raised more that 59 million for charity, breaking the record for an annual single-day charity fundraising event for the 10th year in a row. The event has raised over 1bn for charity since 1981 and completing it is a lifetime ambition for every runner!
