"The New Forest Rattler is the original New Forest Sportive, in the stunning New Forest National Park.
Set up in 2012 by a passionate cyclist, this family run event puts the rider in the heart of everything it does. The event evolved in 2019 when Triathlete Kelly got involved and decided it was too much of a great opportunity not to spend the weekend swimming, cycling, running and camping with friends!
The Cycle gives you three options to choose, 47 miles, 82 miles or the Epic 102 miles. Each route takes in the very best of the New Forest where you will encounter the famous free roaming wildlife. Horses, donkeys, pigs, deer and cows all roam in the New Forest so don’t be surprised if there are a few donkeys chilling out in the middle of the road. The ride is fully supported with a mechanic, medics, feed stations and well signposted. You will be rewarded at the end with a fantastic medal as you cross the finish line.
Under 16s get to ride free with their responsible adult and can take part with their adult in the 5K **
** The event will be fully COVID secure and Track and Trace compliant**"
