If you're not at the front, then, whilst on the airfield, you can see the lead car on the other side of the airfield. When I did this race, it was about 2.5K ahead - it looked a long way away! The chip timing was from the start to the finish.' |

21K, 15K, 8K
| | "Venue is the beautiful Stonor Park. The races take place in the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty." "Medal, bottle of Maverick Trail Ale." Here's my analysis of the routes following a quick look at the 2017 maps. There's little tarmac as the routes use footpaths and these often trail through woods. The 8K climbs gradually up to Southend and then descends down to Dolesden. It returns by gradually climbing to Kimble Farm. The 15K and the 23K take a longer route between Southend and Dolesden that takes in Turville Heath and the outskirts of Turville. After Dolesden, both the 15K and the 23K climb to Gussets Wood after which they descend and then climb to Bosmore Farm. However, the difference between the 15K and the 23K is that the latter does this using a 7K detour to the outskirts of Hambledon. All three routes finish using a short sharp steep descent through woods down to Stonor. Watch out for the tree roots! |

| Frieth Hilly 10K and 5K
10K, 5K
| UKA_2018-32099, UKA_2018-32099 | | 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's the inevitable long hard climb. Although, unlike the descent, the ascent doesn't all come at once, it's still 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. "The 5K is certainly a flatter route, and was enjoyed by many school/junior club runners last year. It is an ideal first 5K race, or for those that are not quite brave enough to take on the challenge of the 10K hills just yet." "Both races start at 1000." "The Frieth Hilly is known for the warmth of its welcome (and its hills). The whole school and villagers turn out to cheer on the runners and the local vicar blesses the race and runners at the start line. We have quirky commentators entertaining the crowds and welcoming back the runners, teas and homemade cakes, BBQ stall, massages, cheery marshals, children’s entertainment, a finishers medal and goodies for you to take home." |

| UKA_2018-30465 OXONGP | | "This race is held annually at Hornton village, 6 miles north-west of Banbury." I've been informed that this "will be the 25th Anniversary of the race". 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. The race takes place on a "virtually traffic-free course". Here is a link to a map produced by the course measurer and I think it is up-to-date. In previous years, drinks and refreshments were available after the race together with a 'Bring your own Burger' BBQ. Also for the last few years "there has also been free over-night camping where everyone is welcome to stay, but bear in mind that there are limited facilities". |

| | "Collect race number on the day." "Venue is The Brocas." "On an out and back course from Eton and Windsor, you'll be taking on not just other runners, but a target pace boat full of spectators that will be tracking you and trying to beat you back to the finish line. All runners set off together in a traditional race format, with a difference, because just yards from where you start on the Brocas fields in Eton, the 3 Thames Cruise boats will be starting too and they'll be full of your friends and family members ready to cheer you on, as you try to beat the boat." "The three boats will be clearly labelled as 40/50/60 mins respectively. So when entering, its important for you to try and decide which boat you'll be taking on, based on your predicted finish time over the course. Faster runners will be looking to beat the 40 min boat, and would therefore want any supporters to be on-board that one, whereas people running closer to 50 or 60 mins, would be chasing those boats." "The course is set under the beautiful backdrop of Windsor Castle and is a flat 10K run on mixed terrain and is not suitable for spikes. Whilst most of the course follows the Thames Path there are some sections that border fields and could become muddy if we have had persistent rain. There will be times when the course will deviate away from the Thames Path to give the boats time to turn around but don't worry you will soon be back on their trail again and racing them home!" "For runners of all abilities." "Technical T-shirt, medal." |

After a short off road grass section that allows the runners unobstructed views across Hampshire, West Berkshire and Watership Down, the route joins the Wayfarers Path. After a short distance the route heads back down from the ridge through a farm to join the 5k route. After running through a small wood with open glades both races cross Winchester Road leading to a flat long straight picturesque run along a second gallops race horse training area. At the end of this straight, the route joins a small quite private road before once again crossing Winchester Road and passing through Gaily Mill.

"The Race HQ and car park for the Banbury 5 is at Banbury Academy, Ruskin Road." I've not yet seen online entry for the Banbury 5 - "we will be providing a link to online entries soon". 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). |

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." "All finishers will receive an award." I think this map is accurate. |

"The route takes you on to Oxford High Street and round the back roads of many of Oxford’s historic colleges. As you loop around the closed roads and soak up the atmosphere of the crowds, you’ll enter University Parks for the final 3K of the route. After running along the River Cherwell, you’ll finish in front of the Event Village and Cricket Pavilion." "The route is the same as in 2017 with one minor change to the final turn. Before making the final left turn to the finish, runners will be directed off the path onto the grass to avoid collision with people using the Keble Gate entrance on University Parks. The turn will be signed, marshaled and will have barriers to make this clear and easy for runners." "The route is unique and scenic, which makes it perfect for all runners. You’ll find beginners taking on their first 10K race, and more experienced runners, hoping to beat their personal bests." "T-shirt, medal, goody bag." "There is also a 3K at 0915 for 9 - 15 years olds." |

"The Marathon has been changed to be slightly quicker, less towpath and easier to follow. The first half includes Bowbridge, The Bear of Rodborough, Minchinhampton Common, Toadsmoor Valley, Lypiatt and the fundamental view at the Heavens.

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.' |

Here are my notes from when I did it in 2010: '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. It's 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, there are also a 4K fun run and cycle rides of 32K, 14K or 5K." |

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 in the future by being only 1K from 225 mph trains on the 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! "Memento." 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". There are also 1M and 2.5M Paul Bithell Memorial fun runs as well (at 1040). |

Each leg of the relay is 4.35M and the race is open to Men's teams (4 runners), Women's teams (3 runners) and Mixed teams (2 female and 2 male runners)."

In addition to outside University and club teams, the day traditionally sees a large number of entrants from internal college/department/sports clubs/corporate teams/unattached teams - all abilities are welcomed." "The route starts on the Iffley Track, uses side roads to get to Donnington Bridge, along the towpath to Folly Bridge, round Christ Church Meadows, goes along Rose Lane, across Magdalen Bridge and along Iffley Road back to the Track." Originally the towpath was going to be maintained in early 2018. However, this web page says it will now take place from Mar 12th to May 21st.

| UKA_2018-32049 CANCELLED | | This web page says the race has been cancelled. "Collect race number and chip on the day." "We sold out in advance in 2016." 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. So the last 0.5K are worth checking out when you are warming up - if you wish to do this, have a look at the course map. A small section of the route is the same as that of the Woodcote 10K. |

| Woodcote 10K
10K
| UKA_2018-31579 | | "Collect race number and chip on the day." In 2018 this race is starting at 1015. My notes from when I did this in 2011 say '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." Previously this race was known as the 'Goring, Woodcote and District Lions 10K'. |

| Gibbet Hangover
10M, 5.5M
| | "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." However, in 2017, 2016, 2015 and 2014 the organisers produced a set of results. |
