There is a short, 200m section near the start, which is the only time the river is not completely visible. It's a 3.3 mile (traffic free) jaunt along the picturesque towpath which hugs the river all the way down to Hampton Court. Here runners will reach the turning point at the Molesey Lock Cafe (KT8 9AW). Then, with the River Thames now on the right hand side, it's a cheery jog back to the start/finish." "Four laps."

10K
| UKA_2015-20395, UKA_pending | | I've not seen a postal entry form. Radnage is about 5 minutes from Junction 5 (Stokenchurch) on the M40. The first Rugged Radnage 10K took place in 2010. When I did it in 2010, I found that about 3.5K was on tarmac with the rest on tracks (some rough) and footpaths. Quite a bit of the route is through woods. There was a lot of mud, especially in the woods. In 2010, most people near to me walked the two killer hills: one hill is at 4K; the other is at the start of the last 1K. I enjoyed the race. |

| Frieth Hilly 10K and 5K
10K, 5K
| UKA_2015-13578, UKA_2015-13578 | | Frieth is a village about 5 miles west of Marlow. The 10K involves sections on road, trails and footpaths through woods and fields, including challenging off-road descents and ascents. There's one point where the route that comes out of a wood to go along the side of a field throws you down from about 160m to 90m during the course of 0.5K. Then, after a flat section along lanes through Fingest and Skirmett, there is the inevitable long hard climb. Although, unlike the descent, the ascent doesn't all come at once, it's hard work. In about 0.3K you go from about 80m to 110m. The path then flattens out for a bit (in Hatchet Wood) before there is another push. In all, you go from about 80m to 160m in about 2K. Although the rest of the route is mainly undulating, there is the final sting: the last 0.5K is a climb from about 140m to 175m to get back up to Frieth. Even though it's tough, I love this route, and Autumn is a good time to visit the area as the Chiltern Hills are gorgeous at this time of year. There is a 5K event as well as the 10K. "We offer teas, BBQ, massages and children's activities to make this a great day out for the whole family. We also offer a fun-packed creche with qualified child-care professionals." |

| UKA_2015-20160, UKA_2015-20160 | | I've not seen a postal entry form. "A multi-terrain run set in the beautiful grounds of Cornbury Park, near Charlbury - it's mostly on gravel/tarmac paths". "Mug." "Ther is also a childrens 1 mile fun run." When I did the Finstock 10K in 2011, the paths were strewn with leaves and some conkers. "The course consists of one large lap and one smaller lap and is undulating with several short sharp hills." The only bit you do twice is the last 3K which is great as it means that from 7K onwards you know what's going to happen and can easily pace the rest of the race. I've seen this photo of one of the hills - this is a hill that you do twice - the photo shows a sign alongside the path that says you should give way to aircraft! Before the 2011 race, a runner from Charlbury explained to me that the owner (Lord Rotherwick) uses one of the paths as a landing strip. His wife (Lady Tania Rotherwick) was the third woman to finish that day. And as well as conkers, I also saw two peacocks and a large collection of deer. I saw these in my warming-up: needless to say they'd gone by the time I reached them in the race! |

| UKA_2015-14411 OXONGP | | "The Hornton Classic 6 is held annually at Hornton village, 6 miles north-west 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." The Hornton 6 is described as a "virtually traffic-free course over a scenic and undulating race route". 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, then there's a point where you'll have to run through 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 down hill fast finish back to the Village Green. "Drinks and refreshments are available after the race. For the last few years there has also been free over-night camping where everyone is welcome to stay, but please bear in mind that there are limited facilities. We also hold a 'Bring your own Burger' BBQ" after the race. Here's a link to the course measurer's map. |

Following the fields across towards Middleyard, the course bears north-east to Redhill Farm and then up to Selsley West. A very steep ascent up on to the very top of Selsley is rewarded with great views of the 5 Valleys and across to the Forest of Dean on the otherside of the river Severn at approximately 2.5km point in the run. From here the course descends along the Cotswold Way into Pen Woods to the junction with with the old Cotswold Way route to King’s Stanley. From here there’s is a surprise left turn back up to the top of the Pen Woods, around the outskirts of the Scouts Centre to form a loop back down to the 3 way junction of the Cotswold Way. This time turning left down back towards King’s Stanley, crossing over the road at Middleyard and re-joining the outward part of the course back to the Village Green and completing the 3/4 lap to the finish." "Medal." "In addition to the Sizzler run, there will be a Toddlers run (2-5 yrs), the little Sizzler for young runners (6-14 yrs). as well as lots of other activities, plus food and hot drinks." |

"It will be the usual course, starting and finishing on grass with the rest of the course on undulating country lanes and some residential streets within village." "Chip timing." "T-shirt." Here's my report from 2010: as there were 628 finishers, the narrow lanes were a bit crowded for the first 3K (at least they were where I was) - there is a hill between 3.6K and 4K, but it's mainly downhill or flat from about 5K onwards - the hardest parts are the straight and flat mile (on road) just before 8K and the last 0.4K which is on grass going three sides round the recreation ground - this is especially so when it's hot as there's no shade - the race was well marshalled - I enjoyed it. "We will once again be hosting a Junior Fun Run for age 5 to 14 year olds, which will take place on the Wargrave Recreation Ground at 9:15am." |

| Otmoor Challenge
half marathon
| | The Otmoor Challenge is a half marathon along footpaths and roads around the Otmoor. Together with 5 mile and 13 mile walks for walkers, it forms one of the events of Horton-cum-Studley's Otmoor Day. "The Challenge starts and finishes on the playing field where a traditional village fete is an added attraction for friends, family and your supporters while you are on the Run." If you enter in advance, your "race number must be collected from the Pre-Registration Desk" which is in one of the tents usually on the left-hand side (NE side) of the playing field. "The good news is that the first 11 miles are virtually flat. The course begins with a mass start of all runners on the playing field, and then has a short 400 metre road stretch before entering a track. This then leads across fields on footpaths, followed by farm tracks before rejoining the road near Murcott. Runners then have a fast road run through the villages of Murcott, Fencott, Charlton and Oddington before a mix of tracks and road to Noke and then there is the 'never-ending field' leading, at the 11 mile point, to a long climb up the hill to Beckley. There is then a steep upwards track and a welcome downhill footpath through fields and woods to rejoin the road for a final fast mile back to Horton cum Studley and the finish line." "We award a medal to the first 350 runners home. The rest of the field will be awarded a tracksuit badge." Here's a link to an unoffical course map that looks accurate to me. |

The 5k route turns left and follows a bridleway back to the Clifton Road where it joins the pavement back to Deddington and the Castle Grounds. The 10k route carries on via a bridleway across Appletree Farm and Manor Farm into the village of Clifton. In the village you turn left along a short section of pavement before taking a footpath on the left through Home Farm. This takes you back across the fields and joins the latter part of the 5k route back into Deddington. This route has been chosen as it is almost entirely off-road and takes you through some of the scenic farmland that surrounds Deddington over some challenging terrain. Please be aware that you will be running across the land of four working farms and you may need to give way to farm traffic." "T-shirt, Medal."

| | There are more details about this race on the Facebook page. The organisers would like you to enter in advance. Here's a useful description from a newsletter of the Tring Running Club - I don't know whether the details are still appropriate: "The start and finish is in Little Gaddesden and the route goes down the Golden Valley behind Ashridge house, up onto the ridge behind Frithsden, down the roman road track to Nettleden before climbing up the path on the other side of the valley to the monastery. There is then a couple of kilometres on a flat track to Hudnall before turning back across rutted fields to Little Gaddesden. So if you are familiar with the Boundary Trail or the Dunstable 20, you would know a lot of this route. Not that you needed to know it as the marking and marshals were very good, even holding open the kissing gates as we went round. It was very well organised and has nice and relaxed feel." |

The rest of the course is either flat or downhill, again on rough tarmac, on wide bridleways/cart-tracks or on grassy footpaths through fields where there are two stiles.

| UKA_2015-12231, UKA_2015-12231, UKA_2015-12231 OXONGP | | "Venue is the Spiceball Leisure Centre." The course is a shaped like a letter P: the out and back bit is about 5M long. This out and back bit starts along narrow paths in Spiceball 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 possibly in the future by being only 1K from 225 mph trains on the proposed 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! "There are 1M and 2.5M Paul Bithell Memorial fun runs as well (at 1040)." Here's a link to some race information. |

| UKA_2015-13467 | | "Collect your race number and timing chip on the day of the race. The collection point will be at the Bourdillion Field behind Goring Primary School and will be open from 9:00am." The Goring 10K takes place on undulating rural lanes and footpaths but there are also three or four hills. The race starts at the bottom of a hill outside Goring's Fire Station. The hill climbs from 60m to 95m and lasts about 1K. The race then uses country lanes, 1.5K of the Ridgeway through South Stoke, more country lanes to re-visit the highest point of the course about 1.5K from the end. So you then go down the 1K hill you did at the start but this is then followed by a few meanderings around a housing estate before finishing on a field behind the School. Tip: if you're wishing to finish fast but are tired at the end of the race, these meanderings can be a bit confusing. The last 0.5K are worth checking out when you warmup before the start. If you wish to do this, have a look at the course map. |

| Woodcote 10K
10K
| UKA_2015-13135 | | "Previously this race was known as the 'Goring, Woodcote and District Lions 10K' and was organised by the Lions Club of Goring and Woodcote. However, in 2015, the run will be organised by the Pangbourne Rotary Club, with assistance from the remaining Lions of Goring and Woodcote." "Race numbers and chips will be distributed from the Village Hall." This 10K is on country lanes in the Chilterns. It starts from the village green in Woodcote, goes down hill along lanes through woods to Goring. At 5K, it goes up the killer hill that is outside Goring's Fire Station, the same hill that is used for the start of the Goring 10K. There is then a 1K respite but this is followed by a long climb back to Woodcote. Elsewhere on the web, someone says it's a "tough road race, 5K downhill followed by 5K uphill" and that describes it very well. "K markers." "Chip timing." "Medal." |

The run course follows the lake side paths with the stunning view of Windsor Castle just visible in the back ground. It is a great course for any one looking for a personal best time or just looking to complete the distance. Use the series of 3 to build up your endurance by doing a 5k then a 10k then finally the 20k. A great way to build up your training for your next big event. Each lap of the lake is 5k." "K markers."

| Gibbet Hangover
10M, 5M
| | "The start is at the Crown and Garter Pub, Great Common Road, Inkpen Common." "The Hangover is a 10 mile(ish) wander around the beautiful countryside of Inkpen and Combe. The route takes in Walbury Hill, Combe Gibbet, and the Test Way, with a good mix of road and off-road (footpaths and bridleways), and a couple of decent climbs. We also have a shorter route of 5 miles or so for anybody who doesn't fancy the full distance. The finish is also at the Crown and Garter Pub, with a drink or two in the pub afterwards. Note that The Hangover is a casual get together, not a formal race event, so there is no entry fee, and the only prize is a pint for the first finisher." |
