They were super. The smiley marshals were lovely from the beginning until, rightly so, they faded away before the night closed in. Really enjoyed them sticking around to support. From at the start, Paul calmly coordinated staff and participants. At 3/4am he drove down to certain parts of the track to keep us encouraged. To shaking my hand and looking me in the eye after 24 hours of running. He did everything with such good morality. When I consider what lessons I learnt it was the ones from how Paul carried himself and us. I had the best 24 hours of my life! Rob ***** Despite the awful weather and subsequent tricky ground conditions, the event was brilliant! It was Incredibly well organised with ample facilities and support. I hope Paul and the team see continued success with the race format next year! Nick ***** Great event. Friendly, well-organised, relaxed. There was a hall used as the base between laps where you could keep your bag etc. The route was good - a mix of stony tracks and (very muddy this year!) single-track paths. The event format of one loop on the hour every hour is great - it means you're always running with others. Overall, I had a great time, and this is one I'll do again.

The Maverick Jurassic Coast Trail 2026 SATURDAY 17 OCTOBER 2026 CORFE Set in the home of Maverick Race, we are excited to offer you five trail routes that will take you on an invigorating adventure around the Isle of Purbeck and along part of the 95-mile stretch of the famous Jurassic Coast. Our three routes start just outside the picturesque village of Corfe Castle, where you’ll then run steadily across marshland, gradually making your way towards the coast. The Ultra and Half Marathon routes will pass the epic Old Harry's Rocks and traverse along coastal ridge-lines via the Purbeck Way. Our Ultra route will take you right down to the tip of the Purbecks, past Winspit Quarry, before reaching the notorious steps at St. Aldhelm's Head. You'll cruise along the Hardy Way and catch a glimpse of Corfe Castle as you descend across Knowle Hill. The finish line is nearing, and you can almost hear the sound of the Maverick cowbells ringing you home... We are so excited to welcome you to where Maverick Race started, and the trails that inspired us to get outdoors and start exploring. We can’t wait to share our favourite paths, hills and views with you, knowing you’ll be stunned and challenged in equal measure. Whether you are brand new to trail running or have run many times before, with five distances to choose from, there is something for all levels. Please note that there is no outpost on the Short route. There aren’t views in the UK quite like the Jurassic Coast, and no one does trail running events quite like us, so join us in October. You won’t want to miss out. Why not make a weekend of it and camp at the start/finish location? Check out Burnbake Forest Lodges & camping here; https://www.burnbake.com/

Phoenix Running West Sussex is inviting you to our Secret Squirrel Run at Buchan Park, Crawley, West Sussex. We have been invited to host another run at this popular location. Our feedback from other events was a collective "I didn't know there was such a hidden gem in Crawley". So come and discover Buchan Country Park which is set in 170 acres of beautiful countryside right on Crawley's doorstep and has won the Green Flag Award, which recognises the best green spaces in the UK, every year since 2010. This is one of our timed events where you choose - from 5km to 10k, half to marathon to ultra, you can complete as many, or as few, laps as you like of a 5.3km, 3.28 mile, out and back, course in the beautiful Buchan Country Park. We welcome all abilities of runner - complete one lap and you're both a finisher and a winner in our eyes, or keep going and see how far you can get in the full 7 hour time limit. At this event you will get the option to choose from any one of our previous medals, so if there is one you liked the look of but missed then this is your chance to have it. Hence the name of the run as you will have 12 medals to choose from. We also operate our uniquely flexible 'rock up and run' start times, so no waiting around if you arrive early and no added pressure if you're running a bit late.  If you have any special start time requirements then just get in touch because depending on the distance you are planning to run we can pretty much accommodate all start time requests. Whilst Phoenix Running West Sussex is very much about the bling and our medals are second to none, we're also acutely conscious that events can be expensive to enter and times are tough right now.  To do our bit we're trailing a 'no medal' entry option at a flat £22.  We cover our base costs, you get a run with all the usual Phoenix support, epic aid station, same day results published, athletes profiles, Phoenix World, digital BIBs, digital finishers certificates, etc, etc but without a medal we can keep the price low for this entry option. Not sure?  Well the beauty of this format is that you don't even need to decide your distance in advance - simply come and run a lap and see how you feel on the day and keep on going if it feels right. Places will be strictly limited so don't leave it too late to enter. We encourage the use of public transport for this event. From Bewbush on route 3, 23 or 200 and get off at Dorsten Square, from Broadfield and Crawley Station on route 1 or Fastway 10 and get off at Pelham Drive. Staggered starts : 08:00 to 10:00 (registration open from 7.30am). Off road, compact trail. Minimum distance is 3.1 miles (5k) or as far as you can go in 7 hours.
