The final details for the November Classic have now been published. Please check this website again before travelling for any last-minute updates, but none are anticipated at this time. We look forward to seeing you on Sunday!

V2 adds a site map showing the toilets and notes that the road crossing to the start will not open until 9:10.

Update: 31st October 2026

While setting up the event centre today, we encountered a large deer herd resting in part of the field designated for tomorrow’s competitor car parking.

Because we are in the peak of the autumn rutting season, these are wild animals that can be highly unpredictable. Please read the following instructions carefully to ensure both your safety and the welfare of the herd:

• Keep your distance: If the herd is still in the field tomorrow, please give them a wide berth. Do not approach, crowd, or attempt to photograph the deer up close.
• Dog owners: If you are travelling with dogs, they must be kept on a short lead at all times within the event centre and parking field. Do not allow dogs to approach or bark at the herd.
• Drive slowly: Please enter the parking field at a walking pace and follow all instructions from our parking marshals, who will guide you to a safe parking zone away from the animals.

Thank you for your cooperation in helping us respect the local New Forest wildlife. We look forward to seeing you all tomorrow!

The results are in for the final MapRun League event of the year. Our thanks go to Colin Hicks for planning. Andy Snell took his second win of the series, clearing all the controls, but it wasn't enough to take the overall title from David Currie. James Bennett was third both this month and in the league overall. Rachel Hepworth was, once again, first female.

We hope to make the courses from this year's league, along with those from last year, available for anyone to take part in. Watch this space! If you're looking for something similar to keep you occupied over the winter months, look out for details of the Wessex Region Night League.
