Backyard Ultras have exploded in popularity over the last couple of years.

Let's be clear: Phoenix Manchester events are not Backyard Ultras.

Our lapped, timed events are a great way to prep for a Backyard Ultra - but a Backyard Ultra they are not.

Phoenix Running HQ has been organising lapped events for over 10 years now! We're proud to bring that same experience to Manchester: lapped, timed events - your race, your pace - with awesome bling to go with it!

Additionally, our events are held under UK Athletics rules and Trail Running Association rules, and qualify for 100 Half Marathon Club and 100 Marathon Club totals.
