New Forest Trail Run - Roundhill

The New Forest 1/2 Marathon 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.

The event is timed and will have water station(s) on route to keep you hydrated.

What better place to experience trail running! Regardless of experience or ability, we actively encourage new runners to our events and have 2 route lengths to choose from: 1/2 Marathon (21.1km) and Standard (16km).
