Team Challenge — New Forest Marathon 2026
The New Forest Team Challenge is your chance to share the New Forest Marathon with friends, family, colleagues and running buddies. .
You can now enter any New Forest Marathon event as a team. Split your team across different distances — from the Full Marathon through to the Junior Races — or all run together. It’s entirely up to you.

New Forest Team Challenge — Entry Rules
- Teams need a minimum of 4 runners — no maximum. So why not get your whole family, friends or workmates together?
- Choose any distance you like — your team members don’t need to run the same race.
- Simply tick “enter as a team” during the normal sign-up process, and enter your team name. Please make sure everyone uses the same team name — our booking system uses this to group your team together.
- Encourage your teammates across the line for a chance to win great prizes. All team members must cross the finish line to be entered into our team prize draw.
- Prizes are awarded via a prize draw. Team entry prizes aren’t based on finish time or race position — this is about celebrating and achieving togetherness. Every team that gets all its members across the line has the same chance of winning.
- Every entrant is also automatically entered as an individual in their chosen race — so you’ll still get your own finish time, place, medal, t-shirt and more.
- Entering as a team is completely free.
- Good luck, and enjoy the run! We’d love to see your team’s pictures on social media — be sure to tag us in.

What do we need to do to win a prize?
Simply get your whole team across the finish line for a chance to win some great prizes.
What happens after the race?
Be part of something amazing, then celebrate your journey together in the Race Village. With live music, food, drink and merchandise on offer, there’s plenty to keep your whole team entertained — whatever distance they’ve run, and whenever they finish. There’s no other event quite like it.
A Weekend Camping Pass covers 3 nights (Friday to Sunday) for up to 4 people and 1 car. So you can turn race day into a full weekend in the National Park.
