New Forest Xmas Trails is a festive trail running event organised by BigFeat Events in the New Forest National Park. Starting and finishing at Holmsley Campsite near Burley, the event features four distances, giving runners a choice of challenges through the forest's distinctive winter landscape.
The 15K, 30K, Marathon and 50K courses each follow a fully marked single lap route across open heathland and woodland trails. Runners can expect varied off road surfaces, with potentially muddy sections and changing conditions throughout the day. The longer distances provide a substantial endurance challenge, while the 15K offers a shorter introduction to winter trail running.
Aid stations, course marshals and bag drop facilities support participants throughout the event, with a bespoke medal available to finishers. Runners can also choose to have a tree planted through Trees Not Tees instead of receiving a medal, adding an environmental element to this seasonal trail running festival.
