Event details
Our annual Blackcap Handicap is held to remember all that Andrew Brooks brought to our sport and our club.
This event is aimed at all standards and abilities and should be treated as a Fun Run.
Entry is FREE to Brighton Phoenix members and a suggested £5 donation for guests.
Time: 19:00. Handicap start times will be announced on the night
Course: An undulating downland course of 5 miles from Ditchling Beacon to Blackcap Trig point and back
Suitability: Fun run, all levels welcome
Entry is FREE to Brighton Phoenix members and £5 for guests.
Next event: Thursday 18th June, 2026
Runners will be set off at handicapped intervals from 19:00 hours or just before based on their estimated time and the estimated time of the handicapper (whose decision is final!). The idea is for all runners to race to the finish line together. There will be club awards for the first paid-up Brighton Phoenix member across the finish line.
