The Burton Christmas Pudding 10K is a very popular race, held just before Christmas! All finishers receive a Christmas pudding! At least you feel that you earned it when you sit down to eat it! Entry is restricted to 800 and the limit is reached by June. Please get your entry in early to avoid disappointment!

The Milford and Keyhaven 5, held late in October, starts on the seafront at Milford-on-Sea with the Needles on the Isle of Wight as a backdrop! It passes through the picturesque fishing village of Keyhaven and finishes on the village green in Milford.

The Everton 10K is held in mid August and starts and concludes in Everton village - situated between New Milton and Lymington. It is a tale of two halves! The first is fairly flat and out in the open whilst the second half is mainly shaded by trees - welcome on a hot day but it is a bit undulating!

Hoburne Park 5,held in early October, starts and finishes in the grounds of Hoburne Park holiday complex and features a fairly flat, fast course. Ideal for achieving a personal best time. You can check out the facilities that Hoburne has to offer and stay for their Sunday carvery lunch after the race if you wish.

The Mad March Hare 20 is what it says! Starting in Burton, Christchurch - in March, it is an out and back 20 mile race which provides useful preparation for those entered for the London Marathon. By this time in your preparation for a marathon you are running like a hare and constantly saying to yourself "I must be mad!" Again, please book your place early for this popular race.

The Sway Carnival 5 Mile Race is an off road event at Wilverley in the New Forest near to Sway and Brockenhurst. It is held in July and is part of a week long list of activities organised by the Sway Carnival Committee. It is set on forest tracks and the course is undulating! Dont be surprised to see ponies or cattle grazing nearby!

We are indebted to The St John Ambulance for their continued support at our races. Their attendance is crucial in providing medical care to runners and members of the public involved in our events. Whilst we make donations to support them financially, our local brigades are running short of volunteers.
