New Forest Marathon
The New Forest Marathon takes place on Sunday 13 September 2026 in the New Forest National Park, near Brockenhurst in Hampshire. The event offers a range of race distances across multi‑terrain courses that use forest tracks and open trails.
Races on the programme include:
- 5K
- 10K
- Half Marathon
- Full Marathon
- Junior Races
- Woodland Walk (New Forest Marathon only)
The course passes through woodland and heathland and includes sections of open trail. Runners may encounter the area’s wildlife, including possible sightings of New Forest ponies. The event is organised to provide a friendly and supportive atmosphere for runners and supporters.
A Race Village at the finish provides live music, stalls and food and drink stands for participants and spectators. The broader event programme includes a range of auxiliary services and information such as drink stations, a spectator guide and volunteer support. Separate nearby events under the same organiser include additional options, for example a Run with your Dog option at The Chase.
Results and photos from past years are recorded and published by the organisers. Partners and community groups are associated with the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
