Phoenix Running Manchester Wings of Remembrance 2026

Sun 8th November 2026

A medal shaped like a green Lancaster bomber plane with red and blue roundels and the text "Lancaster Bomber Run" on the wing. The medal is attached to a ribbon and lying on a wet, muddy ground. Five smiling people in high-visibility vests pose in front of a Phoenix Running tent. Three stand at the back, and two kneel at the front. One person holds a pink medal. Cars and trees are visible in the background. A woman in outdoor sports gear and a pink headband smiles while standing among a group of people at an outdoor event, possibly a race or marathon, with tents visible in the background. A group of runners participates in a race on a dirt path through a natural area, wearing athletic clothing and bib numbers. The surrounding landscape is blurred and the lighting suggests early morning or late afternoon. Three people are running on a dirt path through a natural area at sunset. The runner in front wears a black hoodie and green shorts, while two runners in darker outfits follow behind. The trees are bare, and the sky is golden. A smiling person wearing glasses, a high-visibility vest, and a "Phoenix Running Manchester" shirt stands outdoors holding a tambourine, with a metal footbridge in the background.
