Route information
Explore some of the highest points in the New Forest National Park in Hamshire with spectacular views that stretch from horizon to horizon.
Both routes make the most of the lush countryside as runners navigate wide open plains and winding forest trails, cross rivers and waterways, rolling fields and even towering sand dunes. Runners will pass through Rockford Common, Fritham Plain, Nomansland, Deadmans Hill and Godshill.
From here the course splits and the 60k Ultra will leave Hope Cottage and cross the border into the Wiltshire farmlands. Then runners will cross the River Avon at the weir to the West of Trafalgar Park and follow the river to Downton before returning to the National Park at Godshill Enclosure.
Then both routes join back up and all runners will love the final climb up Cockley Hill, before a run along Hampton Ridge to the finish line.

Did the race in 2022
Great course and scenery. Different terrain, hills and roads. Perfect. Couple of issues finding directional arrows at time, make sure you got the GPX files on your phone or watch.
