2023 Cotswold Classic 10

The Cotswold Classic 10 is a 10M race that takes place on roads to the North of Witney. The route of the race is shown in this map:
map of the route
As you can see the course is shaped like a letter P and it starts/finishes at the bottom end of the stem. The start/finish is at Kings School on New Yatt Road in Witney and on the loop (which is done does anti-clockwise) it visits New Yatt, North Leigh, East End and Wilcote Manor before returning to New Yatt. Somewhere I read this description: "it's a relatively hilly/undulating course with one particularly long climb known locally as the 'hillzakilla' (total elevation gain is 518ft)". This is at about halfway round the course. "However, there is a very fast finish - the last 1.5M from New Yatt is more or less downhill."
