10 Mile Running Events in South East 2026–2027

The Maverick Hampshire Trail 2027 SATURDAY 20 MARCH 2027 | MATTERLEY BASIN GRAND PRIX TRACK We’re heading to the rolling beauty of the South Downs National Park, exploring the trails that sweep around historic Winchester for a perfect early-season test in 2027. This is classic Maverick terrain - open landscapes, flowing singletrack, and undulating chalk downland that invites you to settle into rhythm while never quite letting you switch off. With three route options on offer, there’s something here for every runner looking to build winter miles, shake off the cobwebs, and set the tone for the season ahead. Expect a mix of fast, hard-packed trails and punchy climbs that open out into vast panoramic views across the National Park. The routes wind their way past the tranquil River Itchen, through sections of fast-moving woodland, and out onto exposed ridgelines before bringing you back toward the iconic Cheesefoot Head. And don’t be surprised if you find yourself moving quicker than expected - this is a fast course underfoot, and when the legs are turning over, PBs and early-season course records are very much on the cards. It’s the kind of terrain that rewards commitment: steady on the climbs, smooth on the descents, and always asking just a little more of you than you planned to give. With easy access from London, this Hampshire classic is the ideal early-season hit-out for any trail runner looking to build momentum heading into the year. Late winter miles start here - the Maverick way.
