Sat 6th March 2027
Organiser's Description
Help us celebrate Simon Lister's 100th marathon! Expect a huge medal, the full Phoenix experience (brilliant marshals, an all-day aid station and plenty of banter) and cake, because you can't hit 100 without it.
How it works
This is a timed event on a flat, fast trail loop along the River Mersey in Chorlton Water Park. Do as many or as few laps as you like in the 7 hours. Runners, walkers, joggers, hikers and Jeffers are all welcome. Complete one lap and you're a finisher and a winner in our eyes, and every finisher gets our bespoke finisher's medal. Start with a lap, see how you feel, and keep going if it feels right.
