PHOENIX West Sussex Festival of Running : Blackland Farm
PHOENIX West Sussex Festival of Running takes place on 18 and 19 July 2026 at Blackland Farm, Grinstead Lane, East Grinstead, RH19 4HP, West Sussex. The event offers multiple formats on a measured 1 mile lap that is entirely off road, running on a mix of grass and compact trail with an undulating profile. The lap passes a tree line grass alley, a woodland section and returns to the main camping field, which also serves as the start and finish area.
Available formats include 24 hour and 12 hour solo events, team relays for different team sizes, and the P24 and P12 pacing challenges, where participants complete a lap every hour for 24 or 12 consecutive hours respectively. Entry fees vary by format and affiliation; examples shown by the organiser include unaffiliated prices such as £109.95 for a 24 hour solo and £79.95 for a 12 hour solo, and lower per person rates for team entries. A pitch for a personal tent is included with entry, and a limited number of pre‑pitched bell tents that sleep four are available for an additional fee.
An early entry benefit applies for registrations before 15 February, including a 10% discount and a bespoke event sports t shirt. Distance restrictions apply to participants aged 20 or under in line with UK Athletics rules. Both attended and virtual participants receive a giveaway medal or memento.
