Future races near Oxfordshire

"Venue is the Emerson Valley Pavilion, home of Milton Keynes Rugby Club." "The course starts and finishes on grass but the remainder of the route is on paths and redways around this beautiful part of Milton Keynes." The 10K is two laps. "Medal." "On the day there’ll be plenty to keep everyone entertained; stalls to peruse, refreshments, bouncy castle and other activities for the children so ensure you bring a cheering squad."

I've not seen a postal entry form yet. "Venue is Sudeley Castle." "Both races start at 1030." "The 10K uses a multi-terrain route that climbs over 650 feet to the Neolithic long barrow Belas Knap with spectacular views." "The 5K fun run is suitable for all abilities." "There is also a 1K for children aged 10 and under (at 1000)."

"Entries opening soon." "Come and join us for a fun run around local roads, cross-country and quiet country lanes." In 2016, both races started from the Walnut Tree pub at 1300 and finished in the fete grounds (Appleshaw recreation field) with everyone cheering the runners in.

"Collect race number on the day." "Come run here at our beautiful farm to promote health and fitness and  experience an off-road run. "Set in the heart of the Northamptonshire countryside, cross country/trail running breaks the mould from running around in town on tarmac! All ages can enter and take on a 5K or 10K run." "The races are not timed." "Beginners and kids can take part in the 2K."

"Venue is the Charlton Sports Centre, Weyhill Road." "There will be a 10K and 5K race, 5K and 2K fun run. The minimum entry age for 5K race is 11 years old - any children under the age of 11 must enter the fun run." "The 10K run will start at Charlton Sports Centre and will take you past Charlton and Andover Lakes taking in the beautiful and peaceful scenery of the backwaters of Andover. Anton Lake is situation just north of Andover town centre and was designated a Local Nature Reserve in 1996. The lakes are home to a variety of birds, plants and wildlife including otters. The 5K run takes a route around Charlton Lake and will start and finish in the same place as the 10K run. The 2K route is to be finalised but will it will start at the same place as the 10K and 5K run. The winner of the team cup will be based on the timing of the 4th fastest runner in each team." "K markers."

"Both runs will be set in the beasutiful Veralamium Park and will be testing, safe and fun. There are lots of opportunities along our routes for spectators to cheer you on and you will finish in the sports village to a hero’s welcome over the finish line." "The 10K is two laps of the 5K's route." "Chip timing." "Technical T-shirt, medal." "These events are part of the Festival of Sport which also includes two triathlons, a duathlon, an aquathon and a kids scootathon/duathlon." Not to be confused with the St Albans 10K.

"Venue is the Manor House Grounds, Gallows Hill Lane." "Originally a 10 mile race, it has been in its 10K format for many years now." "Chip timing." "The 10K is supported by three other races, a Park Run, a 3K and a 5K." "10K starts at 1030; 5K and 3K start at 1000; Park Run starts at 0930."

Frieth is a village in the Chilterns about 5 miles west of Marlow. The 10K involves sections on road, trails and  footpaths through woods and fields, including challenging off-road descents and ascents. There's one point where the route that comes out of a wood to go along the side of a field throws you down from about 160m to 90m during the course of 0.5K. Then, after a flat section along lanes through Fingest and Skirmett, there's the  inevitable long hard climb. Although, unlike the descent, the ascent doesn't all come at once, it's still hard work. In about 0.3K you go from about 80m to 110m. The path then flattens out for a bit (in Hatchet Wood) before there is another push. In all, you go from about 80m to 160m in about 2K. Although the rest of the route is mainly undulating, there is the final sting: the last 0.5K is a climb from about 140m to 175m to get back up to Frieth. Even though it's tough, I love this route, and Autumn is a good time to visit the area as the Chiltern Hills are gorgeous at this time of year. There is a 5K event as well as the 10K. "The 5K is certainly a flatter route, and was enjoyed by many school/junior club runners last year. It is an ideal first 5K race, or for  those that are not quite brave enough to take on the challenge of the 10K hills just yet." "Both races start at 1000." "The Frieth Hilly is known for the warmth of its welcome (and its hills). The whole school and villagers turn out to cheer on the runners and the local vicar blesses the race and runners at the start line. We have quirky commentators entertaining the crowds and welcoming back the runners, teas and homemade cakes, BBQ stall, massages, cheery marshals, children’s entertainment, a finishers medal and goodies for you to take home."

"Venue is Ley Hill School." "The 5K starts at 0930 and the 10K starts at 1030." "Be aware the 10K course is a challenge with a mixture of terrain and a tough hill with around 1 mile to the finish. Each year we get  feedback from entrants about the 10K being fabulous and challenging in equal measure!" "The 5K course is a lovely undulating course and is suitable for people new to running and speedsters alike." "Medal."

This web page says that because of building work, the event will not take place in 2018 but they hope to be back in 2019. ""This unique race follows a route through Harwell Oxford Science and Innovation Campus on roads usually out of bounds to the public and offers a close-up view of well-known landmarks such as the Diamond synchrotron radiation facility." "The 10K is two laps of the 5K course."

"Collect race numbers on the day.""Venue is the Black Park Country Park." "Start times: 0930:10K and 0940:5K." "Allow 15 minutes walk to the start. The finish is adjacent to the car park." "The 10K and 5K races take place on rural roads. The course is flat and likely to be a PB course." "The 5K is one lap and the 10K is two laps of this course."
