| Lions Club of Winslow 10K Road Race
10K
| | "Venue is Furze Down School, Verney Road." "The route which is a single lap on country lanes is quiet, pleasant and rural through the North Bucks countryside. 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!)" A map of the area 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. As mentioned above, the cruel bit was at the end: there was a steep hill from 9K to 9.5K. Needless to say this is where the official photographer was positioned to catch all the grimaces! |

| Wokingham Half Marathon
half marathon
| | "Venue is Cantley Park, Twyford Road." "Entries close when the event is full - we can take 4000 runners. The race was full well in advance of race day in 2024." "Starting/finishing at the Park, the race is mainly flat, out and back and run entirely on closed roads. The initial 600m climbs into the town centre, following this the route drops until mile two. The route then picks up the regular course which is quick with very few direction changes. The route is fully closed to traffic and is generally regarded as very fast." "The route is equally suitable for those looking to complete their first half marathon as it is to established club runners seeking a new PB." "Pace runners." "Bib-tag race timing." "Medal." "There is also a Mini Mile at about 1015." |

"Venue is Salcey Forest" which is 'a magnificent ancient woodland that is a remnant of a medieval royal hunting forest - it has many miles of ancient wood banks, building remains and ancient trees - some of the old oaks are over 600 years old'. The Forest is close to the M1 - it is midway between Milton Keynes and Northampton. "Runners will race along the hard-packed trails entirely within Salcey Forest and with the route being naturally flat with some satisfying straight sections, it is perfect for anyone trying to run a fast time or for anyone new to trail running. During winter, there is a section of the course that may become particularly muddy all adding to the fun of the trail!" "10K runners will complete two laps of the course." "The route is entirely different from the parkrun route." "Come for the seasonal atmosphere, the festive cheer and finish-line medals! And, don't forget, seasonal fancy dress is most welcome!

Regretfully there will be no 'on the day, offline' registrations." "Venue is the Village Hall." "Attracting both club and non-affiliated runners, the Woodcote 10K is something of a challenge. Just completing the undulating, meandering course, along back roads, flanked by woods and farmland, gives a real sense of achievement. It is frequently described by participants as their favourite race of the year." "Chip timing." "Medal." 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 downhill 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, it's said to be a "tough road race, 5K downhill followed by 5K uphill" and that describes it very well'. |
