"Registration is at the Fat Fox pub, 13 Shirburn Street." "The start is a good 10 minute walk from registration." "The run takes in a beautiful section of the ancient Ridgeway trail before heading steeply up into the wooded Chiltern Hills. A steep descent down Shirburn Hill with stunning views of the Oxfordshire plain leads to a fast track through Beech woods followed by another steep (and we do mean steep) ascent of Watlington Hill. The final section down the hill is the runners favourite and careful foot placement is needed through the fast twisting single track back down to the Ridgeway to complete the course." "Trail/Fell shoes are recommended unless the ground is bone dry." "The event is very relaxed and run in the true spirit of fell running, a sense of cameraderie and no chip timing! Champagne prizes for the fastest male and female finisher, plus a free drink for everyone with a race number at the Fat Fox after the event to help re-hydrate!" "This will be the 10th anniversary of our race so there may be some surprise prizes..."

"As part of the event there are also a series of children’s races for school Year 6 and under competing over a 1K course and school Years 7 to 9 competing over a 2K course." Here are my notes from when I last did this race: 'The race takes place on a reasonably flat course, with about 4K on a straight old Roman Road called Akeman Street and another 4K round the perimeter road of the airfield at RAF Weston on the Green. 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!

In 2019 the race opened for entries on Sep 29th and it was full on Oct 2nd, i.e., "in 89 hours". Although there is a closing date of TBD, in 2018 the race opened for entries on Sep 8th and it was full by Oct 6th and in 2017 it opened on Sep 7th and it was full by Dec 2nd. "Venue is the Hook Norton Sports and Social Club, The Bourne." "Our annual cross country race takes place over a picturesque 7(ish) mile course. Starting from the Sports and Social Club, the course takes you through the beautiful Cotswold countryside. In the festive spirit, fancy dress is encouraged with a prizes for the best dressed runners. All competitors get to enjoy a mince pie and mulled wine (or hot drink) on finishing!" My guess is that this year's race will use the route that was new in 2017 - it is shown in this course map.

This is the date that is given at www.runbritain.com. 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 f 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!

"Collect race number and chip on the day." Although entries on the day are permitted if the race is not full, "we have sold out in previous years". 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 run pass the start to do 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. "Chip timing."

This Facebook post says that "registration will go live on Jan 1st 2020". "Act quickly as over the last two years we have sold out by mid-March." "The race goes through the centre of historic Corsham, then gradually climbs up Park Lane to the peak of the course at 4K. Down Westwells to the water station at 5K before heading onto the country lanes and up to Neston at 6K. It is then mostly downhill to the finish, but watch out for the cheeky climb on Pound Pill at the 9K mark before heading back to the Football Club." I don't know how accurate this map is.

This is one of a series of races held at Charlton-on-Otmoor, Bletchingdon, Combe, Combe and Kidlington. This web page is using the provisional dates that are given on the Mota-vation web page. Usually there is a considerable discount if you enter the Series and members of some clubs get an even bigger discount if they instead enter through their club. No new entries were taken on the night for any of the 2019 races. In previous years, there were chip timing and spot prizes and you got a memento if you enter the Series. "Venue of the Charlton-on-Otmoor race is the Recreation Ground, High Street." In 2019 this race used the 5.2M course adopted in a hurry in 2018 - it's two laps of the initial circle rather than a figure-of-eight - the figure-of-eight course was 4.0955M long.

Although this is the date that is given at www.runbritain.com that would mean the race is switching to a Friday night. My guess is the race will be held on Sat Jul 18th. "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". 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".
