Event overview
The Maverick Hampshire Trail 2026 is scheduled for Saturday 14 March 2026 at Matterley Basin Grand Prix Track, Winchester, Hampshire (SO24 1HW).

The event offers free parking, a fully marked course, timed results, event photography, a bag drop area and a metal finishers medal. The event is dog friendly; dogs must be added to the entry to take part. Participants are asked to use a reusable cup or bottle, as outposts do not provide pre-filled cups.
