The
CPM Thame 10K
is "a popular race for both the club runner looking for a PB as well as a fun runner looking for a 10K race".
The above map was produced by the course measurer in 2008. The course is essentially in 4 bits: the first 3K is through the town of Thame - here it attracts a lot of support from the locals - and some of this has a road closure. The next 2K is along a quiet straight road to the village of Towersey. This is followed by a 4K stretch along the Phoenix Trail, a disused railway line that now forms part of National Cycle Network Route 57. The final K starts along a leafy footpath behind a housing estate and is then back to the finish along the road used earlier.
