A fun, well supported, well organised and challenging event. Alice Holt is a beautiful setting, and with the hills, and valleys, adds a suitably challenging element for experienced and new runners alike. Both my friend and I had a great time. The compere kept things light and the cafe, toilets and sports massage pre and post run offered were taken up by a good number.
Pre-race admin was good and I definitely hope to return again in the future and beat my time.
Very well marshalled and signposted - so no chance of getting lost.
Well done to the whole crew at Alice Holt - such a friendly bunch!

This was a fantastic event. This was my first ever race and felt perfect. Just the right size crowd to be fun without it feeling intimidating. The course was fab and the goodie bag was a lovely treat. Thanks so much to all who organised and volunteered. We will be back.

Event information
Both routes take the runners into the wider forest through a mix of broadleaf trees, coniferous woods and some open wildlife areas. You might be lucky enough to spot one of our native species of deer or just enjoy the birdsong of a morning in the forest! The route will be a mix of hard stone tracks and muddy trails.
Forest Runner events are a fantastic and unique experience to take part in, as your ticket helps to care for the forest you run in. Whether you're trying your first 5k running event, or you're aiming for your new 10k personal best, Forest Runner is for everyone! These are marshalled events with support for you along the routes, water provided during the route, First Aid available and chip timings for all finishers.
