New Forest Central Trail Run

Introducing The New Forest Trail Run, starting from Roundhill Campsite.

This amazing trail running event is set in the heart of the New Forest National Park which is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Consisting of wide, hard packed gravel pathways, the route weaves through magnificent forests where you'll encounter the native New Forest ponies as well as horses, donkeys, and deer roaming free and grazing on the side of the trails.

The New Forest has been voted the best National Park in Europe and 10th in the world. It ranked higher than the Grand Canyon!

The well maintained and solid underfoot trails are easy to run on in any weather and make for the perfect late season conditions.

The route can be described as slightly undulating / relatively flat with only a 183m elevation gain over the full 1/2 marathon route. The route is easy to follow and flows seamlessly as it guides you through ancient woodland and beautiful heathland.

What better place to experience trail running, regardless of experience or ability, we actively encourage new runners to our events and have 2 route distances to choose from.

At the finish line you will receive a well-deserved high-quality metal medal, finisher’s gift and refreshing drink!

Also, why not treat yourself to something from our RunRebel Merch tent after your memorable run. We have plenty of products to choose from.
