As no races are taking place at the moment, I'm creating some web pages entitled "where I was taking photos this time last year". Today, I'm looking at the Bramley 20/10. Bramley is a village in North Hampshire that is about 12M S of Reading and about 6M N of Basingstoke. It's about 36M from Oxford.
The organiser's website says "there are 20M and 10M races where the 20M race is two laps of the 10M course - the course is fast". This year's race was to have taken place today (Sun Feb 14th 2021). Unfortunately, because of Covid-19 it has had to be cancelled.
I last took photos at the Bramley 20/10 in 2018 and so my review is of those races. The photos below first show runners doing the Bramley 20 and then runners doing the Bramley 10. By the way, you can click on any of the photos on this web page to see the photo in hi-res.
.
The above map is taken from the organizer's website.
The races use a 10M circular route on country lanes which are mainly quiet.
Mile markers are shown in squares with a red background.
As mentioned above, the 20M race is two laps of the 10M course.

If you did the Bramley 20/10 in 2018 and want a reminder, then here's a link to all the photos that I took. There's a calculator on that web page that makes it easier to find the photos of a runner given their time and you can find the time from the results web page.
If you want to see the reviews I've done on other races, then here's a link to a web page that includes an index of the reviews of races.
I'm planning for my next review to be of Race 5 of the 2019-20 Tempo Winter Series. I hope to post that on Sunday (Feb 21st 2021).
I maintain a web page for runners that provides a list of races near Oxfordshire and the latest results. So go and visit www.oxonraces.com to see what races may take place. And if you use twitter, you may want to follow @oxonraces to become aware of important changes to this web page.
