The New Forest Half Marathon, starting at the picturesque Ocknell campsite, offers a stunning journey through one of the UK's most cherished landscapes. As you set off, the essence of the New Forest National Park envelops you, showcasing an area renowned for its Outstanding Natural Beauty.
This enchanting area is home to the iconic New Forest ponies, alongside deer, donkeys, and other wildlife, all roaming freely and adding to the area’s charm.

The half marathon route is undulating, offering a moderate challenge while remaining accessible to runners of all abilities. The trail flows seamlessly through ancient woodlands, where towering trees and vibrant undergrowth create a magical backdrop. The well-maintained paths are perfect for running, regardless of the weather, making this time of year especially inviting.
Alongside the stunning scenery, you’ll find ample opportunities to connect with nature and spot the unique wildlife that calls this area home. The combination of natural beauty, wildlife encounters, and thoughtfully designed trails makes the New Forest Half Marathon a truly memorable experience, celebrating both the joy of running and the splendor of one of the UK’s most beloved national parks.
