Bedford, United Kingdom • 12 Apr 2026

Event Information

The Feisty Phoenix event is a timed running event. Participants choose how many laps they want to complete on a 5.3km (3.28-mile) course within a 7-hour time limit. The minimum distance to be considered a finisher is one lap (3.28 miles). The course is flat with no elevation gain or loss and runs on mixed terrain through woodland trails and paved parkland in Mowsbury Park, Bedford.

Race Format

The event uses a flexible start system within a one-hour start window. Special start time requests may be accommodated depending on the planned running distance. The event is limited to 75 entrants.

Entry Options

Two main entry types are offered. The standard entry includes a bespoke finisher's medal. A separate 'no medal' entry option is available at a lower flat rate; this option includes participation, support, aid station access, same-day results, and digital materials but no physical medal.
