The venue is located around the Holmsley Campsite, BH23 7EQ. What3Words:

The race begins promptly at 09:30hrs. Please arrive in good time as we are on the west side of Hampshire, although the venue is easy to access from the A35 and the A31.
The gates to access Holmsley campsite will be open from 08:00hrs. Please follow the directions of the parking marshals. The gates will be closed promptly at midday, so please do not go off for a long walk after the race as the barrier will be locked until well into the New Year!

We will be using the campsite for parking and all Club pop up tents and flags. There are no changing facilities but there will be a couple of mobile toilet units. As the event could be monitored by Forestry England please use the WC facilities provided. Please feel free to bring your own cups and drinks. Cakes will be provided. There will be bins around but please ensure any litter is cleared away or taken away.

The course is undulating on mainly gravel tracks but there are sections that contain tree roots or are very uneven/rough. With the amount of rain we have had there will be standing water and mud. The distance is approximately 8k.

The start is a 5-10 mins walk back to an area where you arrived, where there is plenty of room to spread out. You will set off along the grass for approx. 200 metres, where you will be directed to head right along an undulating rough path before heading off towards the entrance to the Enclosure. There will be marshals along the whole course to guide you along any change of direction, otherwise please stick to the main gravel track. There will be 2 minor road crossings which will be closely managed by marshals. The last half a mile brings you back around to a sprint finish along by the entrance to where you parked.

We hope you have an enjoyable run.

Many thanks
Jim (Chair, NFR)
Rod (NFR CC6 Captain)
Sandra (Lymington Tri Club

Race 3 of the season and we are still seeing unseasonably mild weather. The course was in good condition with even the grassy track section remaining a track, rather than bog like previous years! A good mix of road and trail shoes being chosen amongst the runners.

310 runners turned out to represent their clubs, which was 80 more than we saw for Race 2 and 2 more than the same race last year, despite it falling of rememberance Sunday. We held a minute’s silenece prior to the race start which I think was a great decision from the oragnising clubs so thank you for that.

Leading the men home was Shaun Egan of Totton RC, with Ben Smith of Winchester Fit club in 2nd and Richard Crawford of Lordshill Road Runners rounding out the top 3. Rebecca Lord lead the women home for Stubbington Green, Followed by Poppy Tanner and Alice Curtin of Hardley Runners.

The top scoring teams were Winchester Fit Club’s men, making it three-from-three and Hardley Runners’ ladies with their first win of the season.

Our huge thanks go out to all of the volunteers from Halterworth Harriers, Romsey Road Runners and Southampton Tri Club who helped to organise and marshall the event. Also thank you to everyone who baked or bought cakes for the finish – they went down a treat by all accounts!

Looking forward to seeing you all in a few weeks’ time at Race 4: Holmsley!

Parking will be strictly at the campsite. Please car share if possible. The car park will open for runners at 8.15am.

There will be an area at the campsite designated for tents and flags. Toilets will also be available at the campsite.

There will be cakes available after the race. However, please bring your own water/cups. There will be a limited supply of water provided.

The course is about 4.4 miles long, and a figure-of-eight circuit. The majority of the course comprises gravel tracks, but there is a short section on grassy tracks that can be very muddy (it was on Friday when checked and there is plenty of rain forecast for this week). There will be plenty of marshalls on the course. Please follow instructions from them at all times. The course map is attached.

The route is also open to the general public, so please be courteous to any others using the tracks, such as dog-walkers, pedestrians and cyclists. As the route is in the forest, there may also be horses and other animals out on the course outside of our control.

Please note that the race start is approximately 15-minutes walk from the car park, so please arrive in good time. There is also a road to cross on the way to the start, so please take care crossing over. There will be marshalls in place at the crossing.

9th November is Remembrance Sunday, so we will be having a minute’s silence before the race start.

As usual, we will be giving out barcode tokens at the finish. Scanning will be done at the race finish, not at the campsite, so please make sure that you have your parkrun barcode with you when you run.

Spectators are very welcome, including their dogs, though please ensure that owners clear up after their dogs.

The car park will be locked at 11.30am. If you wish to remain in the forest after the race, please ensure that your car is moved to another car park.

It was a surprisingly warm autumnal day for Race 2 of the season. The course was in unseasonally good condition with only a couple of mud patches meaning road shoes were the choice of the day.

230 runners turned out to represent their clubs, which was sadly 43 down on last year though this is largely due to a number of clashes with other local races including the inaugural Beaulieu 5k & 10k, and Bournemouth half and 10k.

Leading the men home was Richard Crawford of Lordshill Road Runners, Closely followed by Ben smith of Winchester Fit Club and Tim Rolfe of Stubbington Green Runners. Tina Christmann lead the women home for Southampton Triathlon Club, Followed by Caitlin Hooton of Lordshill Road Runners in P2 and WADAC’s Jane Gandee in P3.

The top scoring teams were Winchester Fit Club’s men, making it two P1’s in two races and WADAC’s ladies also making it two in a row.

Our huge thanks go out to all of the 73 volunteers from Totton RC and Hardley Runners who helped to organise and marshall the event and in particular race-director Rob Barlow. Also thank you to everyone who baked or bought cakes for the finish – they went down a treat on all accounts!

Looking forward to seeing you all in a few weeks’ time at Race 3!

What3words ///folders.softly.cadet

We will be providing cakes at the finish, but please bring your own water/cups.

The course is about 5 miles long on a mixture of made up tracks and grass areas so please be careful at all times. Parts of the course will be muddy so trail shoes are recommended. Most of the course is an out and back sections so please keep left at all times and follow instructions from the marshals. At the turn point please keep cones to your right hand side – this area is particularly muddy and we have had to make a slight change here from last year to avoid trip hazards.

Please note that the course start is about a 10/15 minutes walk from the car park/race HQ so please arrive in good time. The finish is located close to race HQ.

There will be an area near Race HQ that is designated for kit tents but these must be placed on the hard standing with no use of pegs. We are not permitted to pitch tents on the grass areas.

We will be using parkrun barcodes to automate results processing, see details on the CC6 website. Please bring your parkrun barcode on the day and have it with you when running as scanning will be done at the race finish which is a short distance from race HQ and parking areas.

Spectators are welcome including spectators’ dogs – but please ensure that any dog mess is collected.

Please note that we will need to lock up the race car park at about 11:30 following the race. If you wish to remain in the forest you will need to move your car at the end of the race – Stoney Cross car park is close by. Two years ago some runners left their car and went for a longer run after the race meaning that our RD had to remain on site for a couple of hours waiting for their return.
