Phoenix West Sussex - St Patricks Day

Sun 15th March 2026

A black flag with "PHOENIX Running WEST SUSSEX" and a phoenix logo stands by stacked canoes near a calm lake, with green trees and a blue sky in the background. A sunlit lake with sparkling water, a building near the shore, trees in the background, and a small boat with two people rowing on the water. A group of runners with numbered bibs race along a shaded, wooded trail. The man in front, wearing a purple tank top and sunglasses, gestures with his hand while others follow closely behind.

Organiser's Description

With the sold-out success of our event in 2025 Phoenix Running West Sussex is inviting you to join us for our St Patricks Run. This will also be our first anniversary so come and help us celebrate.

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 of a 5.3km, 3.28 mile, out and back, course along the beautiful Weir Wood Reservoir.  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 and everyone gets the fabulous bespoke finisher's medal.

We also operate our uniquely flexible rock up and run start times within a 1.5 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 West Sussex 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.  To do our bit we're trailing a no medal entry option at a flat £22.  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 certifies, 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 your distance 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 will be strictly limited so don't leave it too late to enter. There is NO on the day entry.

Registration open from 7.30am. Staggered starts from 8:30am.

Undulating (min elevation 64m to a maximum elevation of 84m). Minimum distance is 3.1 miles (5k) or as far as you can go in 7 hours.
