PHOENIX - Manchester - Mad Hatter's Tea Party - Chapter 2

Phoenix Running Manchester is excited to welcome you to a brand-new venue at the historic and beautiful Alexandra Park, Oldham!

Could there be a better way to spend a bank holiday weekend? We don't think so - especially as we're also bringing back a much-requested medal (the chunky Alice in Runderland medal!), this time at an exciting new location.

Dating back to the 1860s, this stunning green space in North Manchester offers a challenging yet rewarding course that will test both your legs and your lungs. But fear not - you'll get the full Phoenix experience, with fantastic support, plenty of laughs, and a well-stocked aid station to keep you fuelled and hydrated every step of the way.
