Embrace the raw, muddy essence of the season at BigMud Trails: February 22, 2026, the inaugural 'Earth' event in the Classic Element Trail Series set within Hampshire's stunning Meon Valley. Starting from Queen Elizabeth Country Park, this challenging single-lap course immediately tests runners with a 518ft climb to the summit of Butser Hill, the highest point in the South Downs, before sending you out across the park's rolling hills and scenic trails. Choose your level of conquest with a 16-mile, Marathon, or 50km Ultramarathon distance, each designed to push your limits through wild, wintry terrain and reward you with spectacular views and a profound sense of accomplishment.
Fully stocked aid stations featuring Precision Fuel & Hydration electrolytes and a vibrant, encouraging atmosphere support your journey, with a strict mandatory kit list ensuring safety in the changeable February conditions. With all races starting at 8:30 AM (except the 16-mile at 9:00 AM) and a generous cutoff time, this event is perfect for trail runners seeking a classic, muddy challenge to kick off their year. Secure your entry now for a day where you'll truly earn your bespoke finisher's medal by connecting with the elemental power of the earth beneath your feet.
