PHOENIX - Summer Marathon & Half Marathon
The PHOENIX Summer Marathon & Half Marathon takes place in Walton-on-Thames, utilizing a route along the banks of the River Thames. The event follows a flat, off-road trail on the riverside towpath between Walton-on-Thames and Hampton Court. Because the course has no elevation gain or loss, it provides a fast surface for participants.

Available distances include:
- Half Marathon (13.1 miles)
