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.
