Organiser's Description
This is one of our timed events where you choose - from 5km to 10k, half to marathon to ultra, you can complete as many or as few laps as you like of a 5.3km, 3.28 mile, lapped course around the beautiful Mowsbury Park. We welcome all abilities of runner - complete one lap and you're both a finisher and a winner in our eyes, or keep going and see how far you can get in the full 7 hour time limit and everyone gets the fabulous bespoke finishers' medal.
We also operate our uniquely flexible 'rock up and run' start times within a 1 hour start window, so no waiting around if you arrive early and no added pressure if you're running a bit late. If you have any special start time requirements then just get in touch because depending on the distance you are planning to run we can pretty much accommodate all start time requests.
Whilst Phoenix Running Bedfordshire is very much about the bling and our medals are second to none, we're also acutely conscious that events can be expensive to enter and times are tough right now. So to try and do our bit we're trailing a 'no medal' entry option at a flat £20. We cover our base costs, you get a run with all the usual Phoenix support, epic aid station, same day results published, athletes profiles, Phoenix World, digital BIBs, digital finishers certificates, etc, etc but without a medal we can keep the price low for this entry option.
Not sure? Well the beauty of this format is that you don't even need to decide in advance - simply come and run a lap and see how you feel on the day and keep on going if it feels right.
Places are strictly limited to 75 so don't leave it too late to enter.
Start : 8:30am (registration open from 7.30am).
Minimum distance is 3.28 miles or as far as you can go in 7 hours. Mixed Terrain, through woodland trails and paved parkland. The overall course has no elevation gain / loss making this a flat route.

Course Details
The course is a run on mixed terrain. Half of the course is on footpaths and the rest is on grass or woodland trails. I only ever wear road shoes on this route however feel free to bring whatever shoes you are comfortable running in. You can always change after 1 lap.
Please note that the footpaths in the park are a public right of way, so we would ask that you give extra consideration to other users.
