Max Runners
Runners cover repeated laps of a 5.3 km (3.28 mile) circuit inside Mowsbury Park, moving between woodland trails and paved parkland paths on a course the organiser describes as completely flat. Starts are flexible and entrants decide for themselves how many laps to complete, from a single lap up to whatever they can manage inside a seven hour window. An aid station keeps people moving on the lap, and same-day results, athlete profiles, digital race bibs and digital finisher certificates are all part of the day. The 2026 edition doubles as the first birthday celebration for Phoenix Running Bedfordshire and the field is capped at 75 entrants.
