Priya's Birthday Biryani Dash at Burrs Country Park!

Phoenix Running Manchester are super excited to be collaborating with The Sunnywood Project for another awesome event at the beautiful Burrs Country Park.

This event supports The Sunnywood Project, a fantastic community-based organisation helping people enjoy the great outdoors and boost their mental health.                

You'll notice the entry fee is slightly higher than usual, as this includes a £2 contribution directly to The Sunnywood Project to support their amazing work. 

Biryani included for early birds   

50 Early birds (first 50 entries) will get Vegan Biryani from Fozia's Kitchen along with their medal! So, don't leave it too late. We have brought this event back as it was hugely requested as people loved the biryani run in 2025.
