About the Event

Experience the magic of the New Forest on December 6, 2026, with the New Forest Xmas Trails! This festive edition offers runners four challenging distances to choose from: 15 kilometers, 30 kilometers, a full marathon, and an epic ultra-distance at 50 kilometers. Each route winds through the enchanting winter landscape of the New Forest, offering breathtaking views of ancient woodlands blanketed in snow or dusted with frost.
The trails are meticulously designed to showcase both the serene beauty and rugged terrain of this historic forest. Runners will encounter a mix of soft earth paths, rocky outcrops, and scenic woodland tracks that weave through dense groves of oak trees and open heathland. The event promises an unforgettable adventure for trail running enthusiasts who appreciate challenging courses set against a backdrop of natural splendor.
Participants can anticipate a festive atmosphere at the start line, with warm-up activities, pre-race briefings, and friendly volunteers ready to assist runners throughout their journey. Whether you're looking to push your limits on the longer distances or enjoy a shorter yet equally scenic route, the New Forest Xmas Trails offers an ideal setting for all levels of trail runners.
As night falls during the later stages of the event, expect to be illuminated by twinkling lights and glowing lanterns along parts of the course. This adds an extra layer of enchantment to your run as you navigate through the forest under a canopy of stars or moonlight, creating memories that will last long after crossing the finish line.
Join us for what promises to be one of the most memorable trail running experiences in the New Forest this winter season.
Experience the unique blend of challenge and beauty at the New Forest Xmas Trails. Don't miss out on an event that celebrates both athletic achievement and natural wonder.
