Event overview

We bring you three beautiful routes. Amongst a mix of trees that are, young and old evergreen and deciduous, the trails will take you on a tour through the beating heart of the Forest. Bats tend to roost in the broadleaved trees and thick young conifers provide shelter for deer, so keep your eyes peeled. With the trails being moderately smooth and generally covered with a gravel surface, the three New Forest routes are suitable for all levels of Trail Runner. But beware, the trails can and do get wet and muddy, and don’t be fooled there are certainly some short, steep slopes hidden amongst the flora and fauna. Please note, there is no outpost on the Short route. These trails will challenge you, but reward you. We look forward to seeing you in January and starting the new year the Maverick way. Whilst we can’t guarantee that it will be warm, we can promise a magical event with the crunching and crackling of frosted leaves underfoot.

This event is part of The Maverick Original New Forest.
