Phoenix : Wiltshire - Not So Dry January Run
Phoenix Running presents a timed event at Calne Castlefields Canal and River Park in Calne, Wiltshire. This is a new Phoenix Running Wiltshire location that uses a traffic-free mixture of tarmac and gravel cycle paths following riverside and countryside tracks along the former Chippenham and Calne branch line and National Cycle Network Route 403.
The course follows a loop of 3.28 miles (5.25 km). Participants may complete as many laps as they wish before the event finish cutoff; completing at least one lap records an official time and finisher status. Finishers receive a slate "Not So Dry January" coaster/medal and a bottle opener. A distinctive event noisemaker called the Howzat Howitzer marks achievements.
Key route highlights include the site of Black Dog Halt, a former railway stop, and the red Millennium Bridge, also known as the Black Dog Bridge, which provides an elevated view of the Wiltshire countryside. The Phoenix aid station is located at the start and finish of every lap and offers food with Vegan and Gluten-Free options.
The Landsdowne Strand Hotel is close to event headquarters and will be available for coffee, food, and toilet facilities. Places are strictly limited to help manage path crowding. 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.
