The Phoenix Running Cakeathon is a flexible timed running event beside the River Thames at Walton on Thames. Participants complete repeated 3.28 mile out and back laps, choosing their distance on the day from a single lap through to 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, Marathon and Ultra distances.
Runners follow a flat riverside towpath course with virtually no elevation gain or loss, making for a straightforward and potentially fast trail route. The flexible format allows participants to stop after completing their chosen distance or continue adding laps within the seven hour time limit, with the event base and aid station accessible between laps.
Cake is a central part of the event, with the aid station stocked with cakes and bakes alongside the usual running refreshments. Participants are also encouraged to bring their own baking to share, adding a sociable element to the day, while finishers can receive the event's bespoke Cakeathon medal.
