Phoenix West Sussex's Festival of Running is on the 24th and July 2027 and we are offering a 7 hour timed sunrise event on the final day of the festival.  The race will start from 5am and finish at 12 noon along with our 24 hour festival events so you will be able to enjoy the celebratory atmosphere

An Invitation to a Landmark Running Celebration
This is more than a race; it's a landmark celebration of the entire Phoenix Running West Sussex community, and you're invited. We are thrilled to host this 24-hour event, a festival designed to bring runners together for a weekend of challenge, camaraderie, and unforgettable memories.

Our mission is simple: to welcome runners of all abilities to a unique festival atmosphere set against the beautiful back of Blackland Farm. Whether you're an experienced ultra-runner or looking for your next big adventure, you'll find a place with us.

The course will be a 1 mile lap.

The 7-Hour Solo: This is your chance to dig deep, discover your limits, and see what you're truly made of over 7 hours. You will join is on the final day of our festival to run the distance of your choice within the time frame.
Entry Fee: Affiliated is £37.95 | Unaffiliated is £39.95 

The Venue: Blackland Farm
Blackland Farm is more than just a location; it's an integral part of the festival experience. This stunning activity venue provides the perfect scenic escape, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the run and the vibrant community around you.

Each 1-mile lap is a journey in itself. You'll start and finish in the buzz of the main camping field, run along a "beautiful tree line grass alley" with expansive views, and then dip into a peaceful woodland section before looping back to the cheers of the festival.

The course is entirely off-road, running on a mix of grass and compact trail. The "undulating" profile provides enough variety to keep your legs guessing and your mind engaged, lap after lap. But the experience doesn't end with the trail; it extends to the vibrant festival atmosphere in our dedicated camping area.
