Gloucester Half Marathon and 10K
half marathon, 10K
"Venue is Gloucester Park." "The course of the Half follows a scenic route around the pedestrianised city centre streets, passing around Gloucester Cathedral, before heading out around Gloucester and Quedgeley along a closed road circuit and Sharpness Canal Path." Looking at the course maps, the 10K seems to use the early part of that route. "Chip timing." "Medal." "T-shirt is extra." This event was first held in 2024.

Cleevewold
half marathon

"Venue is the Postlip Hall." "This is a tough and hilly multi-terrain race. It starts near to the Postlip Hall Tithe Barn and covers the highest points of the Cotswold hills on Cleeve common, before heading into the countryside and returning to Postlip via the Belas Knap neolithic burial mound." In previous years the course was 14.25M but in 2024 it was shortened to nearer 13.1M. This Facebook post says "the race will continue on Cleeve Common and instead of turning right at Wheeler gate it will continue past the pylons and leave the common as usual at Wontley gate - after the race goes past Belas Knap and continues into the field the course will turn left at the end instead of right and will follow the Cotswold Way to Postlip Hall". This 13.1M route will be used in 2025. Here is a map for the old route, i.e., the 14,25M route.

Banbury 15
15M

OXONGP
Collect race number on the day." "Race HQ is at the Spiceball Leisure Centre, Cherwell Drive." "The race starts/finishes in Spiceball Country Park." 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 the 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! "Medal." "There is a junior parkrun within the Park at 0900."

Goring 10K
10K
OXONCC OXONGP
"Collect race number and chip on the day." "Race HQ is on the Bourdillon Field behind Goring Primary School." "Starts at Storton Lodge and finishes at the Bourdillon Field." "Closed roads." "Chip timing." "Eco board medal." A small section of the route of the race is the same as that of the Woodcote 10K.
Here are my notes about the race from when I did it in 2011: 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 you then run pass the start to do a few meanderings around a housing estate before finishing on the 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 confusing. So the last 0.5K are worth checking out when you are warming up - have a look at the bit from the START to the FINISH shown on the course map.

Ashton 5K - Race 1
5K
I have not seen any information for 2025 and so I guess this series is not taking place in 2025.
In 2024, there were three races on Mar 3rd, Apr 28th and Jun 3rd. Please let me know if you see anything on the web about races in 2025. "The race is set in the picturesque Cotswold village of Ashton-under-Hill." "The route is a blend of fast flowing sections with the challenge of a short climb at the turnaround and finish." "It is shaped like a lollipop and takes runners from Ashton-under-Hill to Grafton and back." "The series is designed for all ages and abilities."

"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!

Salcey Forest Christmas 10K and 5K
10K, 5K

This web page says that the event on Dec 8th "has been postponed to Sun Jan 12th".
"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! Get those Santa hats at the ready, folks!" "Medal." "There is a 1.2K Junior Fun Run at 0930."

The event was full by Jan 6th in 2025. "Venue is Sparsholt College, Westley Lane." Sparsholt is 5M NW of Winchester. "Set in the beautiful Hampshire countryside on stunning tracks, bridleways and footpaths. The Half visits Farley Mount. This local landmark is the jewel in the crown of the Half Marathon Trail Run. The route is rolling rather than hilly, so will ease you into your new year of running." "Regardless of experience or ability, we actively encourage new runners to our events and have two route lengths to choose from." "Chip timing." "Medal, buff, goodies."

Woodcote 10K
10K

"Collect race number and chip on the day." "Everyone must register online which you can do right up to 0945 on the day of the race. 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'.

Chiltern XC League Match 4
unknown
One of the Chiltern XC events (for certain clubs) at Keysoe (Bedford) on Oct 12th, Milton Keynes on Nov 9th, Luton on Nov 30th, Watford on Jan 11th and Oxford on Feb 8th. These details are given on this web page.
"Venue of Match 4 is Cassiobury Park." "Unfortunately, the venue is also being used by an important golf competition and this is why we are delaying the start by 30 minutes. Many of you will of course want to have a recce of the course, but please comply with the marshals who will be in place on the golf course, as any delays to the golf competition will mean it will not be completed before our races start." "The park is currently very wet and muddy so the U11s and U13s should consider long spikes. All other races cross 100m of tarmac between the 2 bridges and much of the main paths have had hardcore added and so possibly studs or even road shoes will be a better option, but we suggest you arrive early enough to recce an amount of the course you will be running."

Gibbet Hangover
10M, 5.5M
This web page says "email us to let us know if you are thinking about taking part so we have an idea of numbers in advance".
"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 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 previous years the organisers produced a set of results.
