2022 Hornton Classic 6

The organiser's website says the "Hornton Classic 6 is Cherwell Runners and Joggers's very own race held annually at Hornton village which is 6M NW of Banbury. The race was first held in 1994 with only 25 starters. It is now part of the Oxon Road Race Grand Prix series of races and 150 or more turn up to run this scenic and undulating course through the picturesque villages of Hornton and Horley. There are changing facilities, free car parking with drinks and refreshments available after the race. We also hold a 'Bring your own Burger'".

The above map is an extract of the map produced by the course measurer. The start/finish is at the Village Green which means there is about a 350m long gentle rise before the first steep hill. There is then a gentle down followed by a not-so-gentle up. It's then flat for a short while before a big dip. This flattish bit starts at 2K and lasts for about 3K - if it's been raining a lot recently, there'll be a point where you'll have to run through very shallow water that stretches from one side of the road to the other! At 3M, it's steep down into Horley but that is immediately followed by a long gentle climb through and out of the village. From 4M, it's reasonably flat for about 1.5M. The race ends with 0.5K fast down hill back to the Village Green.
