BigMud Trails (EARTH)

About this event

BigMud kicks off the Classic Element Trail Series as its Earth chapter, living up to its name with a proper muddy adventure through Hampshire's Meon Valley. Starting from Queen Elizabeth Country Park, both the marathon and 16-mile routes tackle Butser Hill — the South Downs' highest point — twice, with its 518-foot climb testing legs early and late. Between those bookend ascents, runners navigate woodland tracks and rolling countryside that showcase the valley's natural character. The single-lap courses wind through terrain that changes with the seasons, often soft and challenging underfoot. It's an honest test of strength and adaptation, where the landscape itself becomes part of the challenge.
