The Maverick Adidas Terrex Original Hampshire 2024
The Maverick Adidas Terrex Original Hampshire 2024
Saturday 9 March 2024 | Matterley Basin Grand Prix Track
We're heading to the beautiful South Downs National Park to explore the trails surrounding Winchester. The routes we have mapped are intended to test you. With 3 route options to choose from, there's something for everyone. The Long Route will lead you up and over undulating hills with panoramic views across the National Park. Stunning winding trails take you through some beautiful woodland before you head back to Cheesefoot Head. This route is fast and hard-packed so we may even see some PBs and new course records set. Please note, there is no outpost on the Short route.
With easy access from London, it makes this Hampshire route a must for any trail lover out there.
Please reference the below image which shows the entrance to the event area, via the A272. There will be no access via the A31. Please follow parking signage and race marshals who will direct you once you are on site.

The Routes
Choose your route carefully. The distance and elevation gain should give you some indication as to how easy/hard each route is, as well as showing you where the tougher climbs are.
HOW IT WORKS
As a guide, you should always:
• Follow the on-course signage
• Listen to on-course marshals
• Take care when crossing roads
• Be considerate to others
• Please close all gates, DO NOT litter!
PLASTIC-FREE
In our quest to make this season plastic-free, we ask that you run with a reusable cup or bottle. Hydrapak Speed Cups are available to purchase at each event and online.
OUTPOSTS
There will be no outpost on the Short route. There will be 1 outpost on the Middle route, at approximately 11.5km. There will be 2 outposts on the Long route, at approximately 11.5km & 19.5km. The outposts are designed to act as a top-up for what you are already carrying. There will be a range of sweet & savoury snacks (fruit, cake, crisps) as well as Precision Hydration fuel & electrolyte.
CUT-OFFS
Although we do not have strict cut-offs as such, we do appreciate it if all runners are finished by 2pm. This equates to a finish time of 4 hours.
This helps to ease the pressure on our marshals so that they are not stood outside for long periods of time.
TRANSFERS
If for any reason you wish to transfer out from an event we are happy to do this, but once only. You may transfer to any event listed on our website or even change to a higher-value event and pay the difference. We cannot action any transfers or refunds for an event that has sold out.
The last day to transfer out of an event is the Monday before event day (5 days before the event), please email us at info@maverick-race.com with the name of the event you would like to move to. We are not able to move you out of an event if you contact us after this day
Bring your own cup
In an effort to keep our trails clean and preserve the nature around us, we’re aiming to keep our outposts cup free. Please bring a cup or bottle to re-fill.
