The Banbury 5 is a 5M road race using the roads in and around Banbury. The organiser's website says "The Banbury 5 uses a scenic one-lap course and it's part of the East Midlands Grand Prix Series". Normally the Series consists of 8 midweek road races during May, June and July taking place at Silverstone, Rugby, Blisworth, Banbury, Corby, Harborough, Weedon and Milton Keynes. However, this year the race at Silverstone was unable to take place.
