The Phoenix Minotaur 50 Mile Ultra is a timed off-road running event held at Denbies Wine Estate in Dorking, Surrey on Saturday 20 June 2026. The main race covers fifty miles using a single one-mile loop on estate trails.
The loop course is described as flat-ish with slight inclines, cambers and undulations. The route runs on trail through the vineyards and is used repeatedly by participants to complete their distance. The event is fully chip timed and includes a well stocked aid station that records laps and distance as runners pass.
Several distance options and concurrent events take place at the same venue, including:
- 50 mile
- 12/24 hour event
- 75 mile and 100 mile options
- Marathon and half marathon events
Runners have up to thirty hours to complete the ultra distance. Distance restrictions apply to participants aged 20 or under in line with UK Athletics rules. Places are limited and all participants, whether attending or running a virtual entry, receive a giveaway medal or memento. Entry fees are listed with different rates for affiliated and unattached entrants. The event is described as an inclusive festival of running with multiple races and runners sharing the loop throughout the weekend. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
