Phoenix Running - Weir Wood Reservoir

Phoenix Running - West Sussex Festival of Running (P12 & P24)

Phoenix West Sussex's Festival of Running takes place at Blackland Farm in East Grinstead on 18 and 19 July 2026. The event uses a single 1-mile lap around the main camping field, along a tree-lined grass alley, through a woodland section, and back, on an off-road surface of grass and compact trail with an undulating profile.

Multiple formats run over the weekend, including solo 24-hour and 12-hour endurance events, team relays with options for smaller and larger teams, and the P24 and P12 challenges. The P24 requires one 1-mile lap on the hour for 24 consecutive hours; the P12 is the 12-hour version of that format. Entry fees vary by format and affiliation status, with different prices for solo entries, team members, and the P12 and P24 challenges. A pitch for a personal tent is included with entry; a limited number of pre-pitched Bell Tents are available for a £40 upgrade and sleep four people per tent.

Every participant receives a bespoke finisher's medal. Early entries before 1 March receive a 10% entry discount and a bespoke event t-shirt when the discount conditions are met. The event is presented as a running festival combining timed formats with camping and a shared community atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
