Preferences area. This preferences area has two purposes. Firstly, it enables you to hide some of the races that appear in the table, e.g., long races and/or races that are too far away. It can also be used to show both the distance and the route by road to each race.
There are two ways in which you can control the preferences.
Way 1 allows you to use the length of the race to control which races appear.
Way 2 allows you to use the location of the race to control which races appear. It also enables you to arrange for the table to include both the distance and the route by road to each race.

If you use these ways to control what appears in the table, cookies will be used to store your preferences. There is more about this later.

2. Below there are two drop-down menus. If you wish, choose a home, say Oxford, and choose a distance, e.g., 80 miles. If you do this, a new button labelled show races up to 80M from Oxford will appear. If you click this button, the table of races will be restricted to races that are up to 80M by road from Oxford.

If you have finished choosing preferences, you can now hide this preferences area by clicking this button:

"This race is held annually at Hornton village, 6 miles north-west of Banbury." 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".
