Phoenix Manchester Burrs Bash

Phoenix Manchester Burrs Bash is a low-key Phoenix Running Manchester event held at Burrs Country Park in Bury, Greater Manchester. The course primarily uses hard-packed paths and riverside trails. Participants can choose from 5K, 10K, half marathon, and multi-terrain races. The event follows a "Rock up and run" format, offering flexibility for those preferring a less formal race day compared to large city events. The event welcomes runners of all levels, from novices to experienced ultra runners, and features a well-supplied aid station. It is conducted in partnership with The Sunnywood Project, a local group focused on improving mental well-being through outdoor activities. A portion of each entry fee, specifically £2, is donated to the project. Phoenix Running also provides a reduced-price option for those who do not wish to receive a medal, and participants can select from available Phoenix medals, including past designs they might not have acquired.
