Set in the heart of the beautiful New Forest, with a country house as the backdrop, this is a technical trail event suitable for all abilities. 'Something to talk about' is a 7-hour race consisting of a looped route through stunning forest offering participants the opportunity to choose their own distance, from 5K to ultra-marathon. All finishers of 5K or more will receive a medal. Loops are 3.28 miles long.

We offer flexible start times between 9am and 10.30am. Just turn up when you're ready to run. All runners to finish by 4pm. Number pick-up is on the day at race registration before you start the event.

We will have an aid and drinks table at the start/finish of each lap. There will be a selection of savoury and sweet items. There will also be an area to leave your own items. Please note we do not provide plastic cups; bring your own.

Toilets, showers and changing facilities are available.

Final instructions will be sent out via email before the event with full race day information.

*OFFER*  The first 50 sign-ups across our open events receive a free Long Player Running 'snut'. What's a 'snut'? I hear you ask. Well, it's a highly sought-after fashion accessory; a scarf you wear on your nut - a stretchy, wicking garment that can be worn as a sun shade, a hat, a head band or even a wrist band. Definitely not a B.U.F.F. A snut.

Please note, as per UK Athletics rules, distance restrictions apply to participants ages 20 or under.
