Phoenix West Sussex - Firework Flash

Sun 8th November 2026

A wide, dirt path runs through a wooded area with bare trees and green undergrowth; a few people are walking in the distance under a cloudy sky. A group of people gather under a "PHOENIX Running" tent by a lakeside, surrounded by sailboats and stacked canoes on a sunny day. Some participants wear athletic gear and race numbers.

I loved the style of event; however, the route could have been a little more exciting, plus it was a heavily cycle trafficked route which was a little frustrating hence only giving 4 stars. Would do again though and the organisers were great!
