The Phoenix Minotaur 50 Mile, Hydra 75 Mile and Centaur 100 Mile Ultra Marathons are back - a 50, 75 and 100 mile 'beast' with a difference!
Whether you're a seasoned ultra runner or a complete first timer, here at Phoenix we aim to create an awesome running environment which is safe, inclusive, friendly and fun and allows you to achieve things you perhaps never thought possible. We will support you to succeed!
Firstly, you get up to 30 hours to finish the event - that's right from 8.00am on Saturday 20th June right through to 2.00pm on Sunday 21st June, so if you fancy having a go at your very first 50 , 75 or 100 miler, or perhaps your first time running at night, then you won't find a longer cut off time anywhere. The route is a single 1 mile loop, which we've made as flat as we possibly can and just to add to the fun we have a 12/24 hour event and half / marathon events going on at the same time with other runners coming and going to keep you company. When you get to 50 / 75 / 100 miles you'll be a Finisher and get the epic Minotaur, Hydra or Centaur medal/buckle!
The event is fully chip timed so you don't need to worry about keeping track of laps - we'll do all of that for you and can tell you exactly how far you've run each time you pass the awesomely well stocked aid station.
Places will be strictly limited so don't leave it too late to enter.
Off road trail, through the wine estate on a flat 1 mile route. Flat, with slight cambers.
