About the Event

Experience the thrill of Phoenix Running's Water Dragon Run along the serene Thames River. This flexible timed event allows you to choose your own adventure, whether it’s one lap or multiple laps on a 5.3km out-and-back course that winds through picturesque waterfront paths.
The race welcomes runners from all abilities; complete just one loop and still earn recognition as both a finisher and winner in our eyes. For those looking for an extended challenge, the full event offers a generous seven-hour window to see how far you can go. The unique 'rock up and run' start times within a one-hour window ensure that participants are not held back by rigid schedules—arrive early or late with ease.
Phoenix Running is renowned for its dazzling finisher medals, but this year introduces an innovative option: enter without the medal at just £20 to keep costs low. This no-frills entry still includes all core event amenities such as real-time results publication and digital certificates. The choice of whether to opt-in for a medal can be made on race day based on your performance.
The course itself is flat, fast, and entirely off-road along the riverside towpath, offering breathtaking views of the Thames while you run. With well-stocked aid stations providing support throughout, this event promises an unforgettable experience that caters to both casual runners and serious athletes alike. Don’t miss out on a limited number of spots for what is sure to be one of Phoenix Running’s most memorable events.
Join us at the Water Dragon Run and immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere along the Thames River, where every step brings you closer to your personal best.
