Big Six #5 - New Forest Races

On 28th July the organisers wrote:
On 21st July the government released specific guidance surrounding sports events including running events.

Further to this release we have now had it confirmed by the council and police that events can now legally take place.

We have adapted our event plan to ensure we have an accepted model which mitigates risk at every opportunity. It remains our number one proprity to keep everyone safe at all times.

We now believe we have a robust solution and have had confirmation from both the police and fire service that these meet requirements for the event to go ahead.

The New Forest Marathon will now take place on 19th and 20th of September at St Giles House, a 6000 acre private estate, with a matrix of farm tracks, open fields and stunning views.
The venue is located just 10 miles north west of Ringwood.
The event will take place 'behind closed doors' with reduced numbers and no spectators. It has been restructured across two days to ensure we can offer the highest level of safe social distancing and offer all race distances this amazing opportunity. The venue is being opened exclusively for NFM runners, creating a truly unique running experience. It's going to be a belter!
