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. |

| UKA_2016-22989, UKA_2016-22989 | | "In 2015, we completely sold out of 10k places and sadly had to turn entrants away on the day." Frieth is a village in the Chilterns 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." |

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! |

6K
| CANCELLED | | This web page says "regrettably the race on 4th September is not going ahead". This is the date that is given at www.coombehillrun.org.uk. Note that it's moving from June to September. In 2015, the venue was the Shoulder of Mutton, Pound Street. "From the pub, the route heads up Ellesborough Road before joining the Ridgeway path towards Coombe Hill. Having climbed up close to the monument, the route drops down a bridleway towards Ellesborough Golf Club and then swings back up again towards the monument. This is the killer hill locally known as 'The Front'. The good news is that, once you reach the monument, it is downhill from there." "So the race includes 190m of climbing in order to reach the monument." |

6M
| UKA_2016-25944 OXONGP | | I've not seen a postal entry form yet. "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. Here is a link to a map produced by the course measurer and I think it is up-to-date. "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." |

You can enter the series either online at RW or using this postal entry form. The Banbury 5 can be entered using this postal entry form. "The Race HQ and car park is at Banbury Academy, Ruskin Road." Here are my notes from when I ran it a few years ago: 'this 5M is on rural roads in/near the outskirts of Banbury - there is a shortcut behind the school across its playing fields to the start - the start is in Browning Road which is in a housing estate off Bloxham Road - at the 1M marker, there is a slight hill - there is a big hill before the 3M marker and a slight dip at 3.6M - it is flat from 4M onwards and there is a slight decline to the finish which is near to where Bloxham Road joins Queensway.' This course map is useful as it not only has the route of the race (marked in red) but it also has the walking route from the Race HQ to the start (marked in blue) and the walking route from the finish to the Race HQ (marked in green). |

"The course has been refreshed for 2016, we have extended the route to 10km added in more tracks, more trails and more woodlands and less grass." "Medal." "After the race you and your family can enjoy the scenic grounds of Ragley Hall; explore the sculpture trails, visit the adventure playground, wander the gardens and row around the boating lake. Ragley Hall will also be hosting The Avenger Triathlon on the same day so there will be an event village with sports retailers and food stands. It is definitely worth hanging about to watch the triathletes battle it out." Not to be confused with the Resolution Run (Ragley Hall) or the Alchester 10K. |

| Otmoor Challenge
half marathon
| | The Otmoor Challenge is a half marathon along footpaths and roads around the Otmoor. Together with 5 mile and 13.2 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." I think this map is accurate. |

10K, 5K
| | Here's a useful description of the 2013 Gaddesden Gallop 10K that appeared in 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.' |

This is a gorgeous run that takes place around Houghton which is a village in the Test valley that is about halfway between Salisbury and Winchester. The course is mainly off-road: it starts with a long gentle climb along a rutted cart track; then down along rough tarmac; uses a footbridge to bypass a ford (or you can run through!); then there is a narrow footpath that climbs gently up through a wood (where you are warned to watch out for tree roots). 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. The route also passes a bluebell wood, a magnificently preserved disused railway station and several bridges across the River Test. "We hand out medals to finishers but there are no placement awards. Local businesses provide spot prizes." "As well as the 11K Trail Run, there are also a 4K fun run and cycle rides of 32K, 14K or 5K." |

| UKA_2016-22731, UKA_2016-22731, UKA_2016-22731 OXONGP | | "Venue is the Spiceball Leisure Centre." The course is a shaped like a letter P, the out and back bit being 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! Here's a link to race information. "There are 1M and 2.5M Paul Bithell Memorial fun runs as well (at 1040)." The race has been renamed "Geoff Smith's Banbury 15". Geoff Smith, a former chairman of Banbury Harriers, died in May 2015. "Smithy was the spearhead of The Banbury Fifteen road-race". |

The collection point will be at the Bourdillion Field behind Goring Primary School and will be open from 9:30am." 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.

It leaves Winslow and passes Verney Junction, Sandhills then East Claydon and returns via the Granborough Road to Winslow. (With a bit of a climb to finish, so keep something back!)" In 2015, you got a T-shirt. A map of the route shows the course varying from about 85m to 113m. When I ran it in 2010 I found a long gentle incline lasting from 3.5K to 5K and another short one at 5.5K. But the cruel bit was at the end: there was a steep hill from 9K to 9.5K.

| UKA_2016-14078 | | Previously this race was known as the 'Goring, Woodcote and District Lions 10K'. "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 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." However, in 2015 and 2014 the organisers produced a set of results. |
