Something To Talk About

Something To Talk About is a forest trail event held at Avon Tyrrell Outdoor Activity Centre in the New Forest. The course runs as a looped route through woodland, over boardwalks and alongside lakes, with a Grade I listed calendar manor house forming part of the setting. The loop length is 3.28 miles.

Participants may choose their own distance on the day, with options running from 5K up to ultramarathon distances. All finishers who complete one loop or more receive a newly designed metal medal. Runners collect numbers on the day at race registration.

An aid station is placed at the start and finish of each lap and provides drinks plus a variety of sweet and savoury snacks. The event operates a cupless policy so participants should bring their own drinking vessel. Toilets, showers and changing facilities are available at the venue. Camping is available and is arranged through Avon Tyrrell Outdoor Activity Centre.

The event is licensed by the Trail Running Association and is run under UKA rules; as per UK Athletics regulations, distance restrictions apply to participants aged 20 or under. Flexible start times are offered on the day and all runners must complete their chosen distance within the organiser's maximum permitted time.
