Future races near Oxfordshire

"Collect race number on the day." "Venue is the Aldbury Recreation Ground, Stocks Road." The Ashridge Estate is NE of Tring and NW  of Berkhamsted. "The boundary trail route follows well-marked paths around the beautiful Ashridge Estate." "The race this year will be run in a clockwise direction." First the route will head towards Ivinghoe Beacon, Ringshall, Little Gaddesden and then Northchuch Common before heading back to the start. "The only deviation from the official boundary route is that entrants will go to the top of
Ivinghoe Beacon." "We strongly urge you to study the route and familiarise yourself with it." "Gift."

Collect race number on the day." "Race HQ is at the Spiceball Leisure Centre, Cherwell Drive." "The race starts/finishes in Spiceball Country Park." The course is a shaped like a letter P,  the out and back bit being about 5M long. This out and back bit starts along narrow paths in the Park. It continues on a footpath that accompanies the A423. The first hill is alongside this main road at about 1.25M. Just after 2M, the course leaves the main road and ventures into the countryside visiting the villages of Little Bourton, Great Bourton and Cropredy. At 5M, the circular 5M bit  of the P starts. Here there is a short hill and at 6M there is a longer hill. At the top, you reach a village called Claydon. In my opinion, the nicest part of the course is between 6.5M and 8M: so peaceful on a quiet, narrow lane that crosses the Oxford Canal (between Claydon and Appletree). Unfortunately, this tranquillity is shattered by a significant hill at 8M  (and in the future by being only 1K from 225 mph trains on the HS2 railway line). Just after the 10M marker, you complete the circular bit of the course. Just after 11M you meet the last hill which is on the approach to Great Bourton. You know it's coming as you went down it on the way out! "Medal." "There is a junior parkrun within the Park at 0900."

"The race starts at Combe Gibbet (SU365623)." "It's a wonderfully scenic 16M cross country race through the beautiful Wiltshire and Hampshire countryside." "Undulating." "It finishes in Overton (RG25 3HD)." "The race entry includes a bus ride from Overton to the start at Combe Gibbet."

"Early bird discount" probably until Dec 31st. "Race HQ is at Hillingdon Athletic Club, 206 Bury Street." "This race (formerly the Finchley 20), is the longest-running 20M race in the UK." "Four laps on mostly quiet suburban roads." "Hilly." "Chip timing." "Medal."

"Early bird until Dec 31st." "Race HQ is at the Village Hall." "The race starts outside the Hullavington Arms." "This is a road race of 20M over two 'unequal' laps of a gently undulating and picturesque course." "Medal." "There is also a 5K race and fun run."

Two circular laps take runners through Pavenham, Felmersham and Stevington villages with a finish outside the Academy." "Start to finish chip timing." "Iconic Oakley 20 hoodie."

"Collect race number and chip on the day." "Venue is the Winchester Rugby Club." "Your journey around England's old capital begins in the heart of Winchester. Running along the Itchen Navigation, your first big challenge awaits as you ascend past St Catherine's Hill and head east across the beautiful undulating trails to Cheesefoot Head. You then have a succession of 'Big Way' paths; the South Downs Way, Allan King Way, St Swithun's Way and the Itchen Way, leading you through quintessential English countryside as the trail meanders alongside the River Itchen past Avington Hall and beyond!" "Chip timing." "Medal."
