Nettlestone Road and Trail (RAT) Race

The Nettlestone Road and Trail (RAT) Race is an annual running event held at Nettlestone Primary School in Seaview. The 2025 edition offers participants a choice between a 5-mile or 5km route, both featuring off-road sections and scenic runs along the Seaview seafront with views of the Solent. The courses are circular, avoiding laps or out-and-back segments.

A 600m children's fun run takes place around the school grounds. All finishers receive medals, and pre-entered runners are entered into a prize raffle. The event fosters a friendly atmosphere with refreshments available, supported by the local school community. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
