Exbury Gardens 10k 2025
Welcome to one of the south’s most picturesque 10k’s based at the beautiful Exbury Gardens in the New Forest. Your run, on this flat/undulating course, starts in the stunning gardens and takes you through glorious countryside to the scenic Lepe beach with panoramic views across the Solent to the Isle of Wight. You will then continue your journey back to the finish in Exbury Gardens.
We are thrilled to have been given special permission by Exbury to stage the event in June, one of their most most popular months for visitors. In partnership with Hardley Runners and the many local community groups and organisations who help us to stage the event, we are delighted to welcome you to one of Hampshire’s most picturesque 10k’s in June 2025. All runners will receive a bespoke medal and we have agreed with Exbury that all runners get FREE entry into the stunning gardens after their run – so why not plan a summer picnic or coffee and cake to celebrate your achievement and make some unique running memories.

Medals and T-shirts
This year there will again be a commemorative race medal included in the entry fee for all finishers.
Increasingly, many runners have asked for an option to take part in the race but not to receive a t-shirt for cost or sustainability reasons. So this year, we have provided an option to take part without receiving a t-shirt.
Runners who would like to receive a high tech t-shirt memento can add a t-shirt to their basket for just £4 when they enter. T-shirt sizes XS, Small, Medium, Large, XL and XXL sizes will be available. This will need to be ordered by the end of May.

When Running Mania sell an entry on behalf of a race or event, be it paid by online credit card transaction or by a cheque and entry form in the post it is done on a NO REFUND basis.
Why an event can’t refund?
Did you know that between 10% and 20% of entrants choose not to turn up on race day. If an event had to make refunds to all these entrants, budgeting would be impossible and most, if not all events, would not take place.
Cancellation: We reserve the right to cancel, delay or postpone the event due to unforeseen or unavoidable circumstances outside of our control. In such a case we will endeavour to inform participants as quickly as possible. Where cancellation is outside of our control we will not be liable for any inconvenience, expenses, costs, losses or damages suffered by participants.
