In 2016, the Half Marathon was on Feb 28th and it was full by Feb 3rd. "Start times: 0830:Half, 0850:5K." "The closed road Half Marathon starts in Millennium Place leading onto Radford Road before heading into Allesley. As the race leaves Browns Lane, participants enter quiet leafy lanes with a gentle climb. Following this there is a 400m downhill run which leads into the final climb. The race is challenging but fun at this point which is about 8M into the run. Tamworth Road takes the runners on another downhill section back into the suburbia that is the Coundon area with great views of the city centre skyline. On the home straight the runners will head down Radford Road and reach their goal at the finish line on Hales Street." "M markers." In 2017 chip timing was used. "2019 sees the introduction of a supporting two lap, closed road city centre 5K that is ideal for those that are either new to or getting back into running." "Technical T-shirt, medal."

"Collect race number and chip on the day."

"The 5K starts at 1000 and the 10K starts at 1100." "The races start and finish at the Leisure Centre." "Both races use out and back routes along country lanes." Here is a link to a map produced by the course measurer but I don't know how up-to-date it is. "Chip timing." "Medal." "There is also a 1.5K Fun Run at 1030."

"Early-bird discounts are available for entries before Jan 31st." "The course of the 10K includes a mixture of quiet roads, farm tracks and footpaths. Starting at Cholsey Pavilion, following a tour around the village it climbs towards the Berkshire Downs, descending back to the village via an off-road route." So it does the route shown in red on this web page in a clockwise direction. The map also shows that the 5K "takes two shortcuts to the route of the 10K." I understand that in 2017 the 10K started at 1000 and the 5K started at about 1004. "Chip timing." "T-shirt, hand-made wooden medal". "There is also a Family Bunny Run". "There will be lots to do for families whether entering the family run or supporting other runners. For younger children, the race start is right besides a lovely playground, and there will be a bouncy castle too."

"Leaving from the grand Sudeley Castle in the heart of the Cotswold Hills and set in 1200 acres of estate land, this won’t be a walk in the park. Sitting nicely down in the bottom of a valley, the only way is up. It’ll be worth it though as the surrounding area is everything you’d expect to see from rural middle England. With technical single track, wooded trails and some locally famous national routes on the Cotswold Way, Gloucestershire Way and the Winchcombe Way. The course won’t allow you to switch off for a second, but you’ll be thankful for that as it’ll allow you to take in your surroundings which you won’t want to miss.""Medal, bottle of Maverick Trail Ale." "Why not bring the family to take a wander around the beautiful Castle and Gardens.

"Venue is the Stanley Park Football Ground, Stanley Lane." "Starting from Stanley Park Sports Ground, runners will head off on Stanley Lane into the scenic Wiltshire countryside, passing through the beautiful village of Tytherton Lucas, then continuing towards Langley Burrell following the famous rural pathway of the Maud’s Heath Causeway. After passing over the famous Kellaways Bridge which rises above the Avon flood plain on sixty-four brick arches between Bremhill and Langley Burrell, runners will continue through the lanes completing a small loop before doubling back across the bridge and heading back towards Tytherton Lucas and then to Stanley Lane to finish back in Stanley Park. The route is predominantly flat with a slight down hill section for the first 1.5M and a slight climb within the last 1.5M returning to the Sports Ground." "So there is plenty of PB potential!"

"Venue is the Village Sports Ground." "A fantastic cross country 10K and 5K run across the Hertfordshire countryside." Here's a useful description of the 2013 Gaddesden Gallop 10K that appeared in a newsletter of the Tring Running Club - I don't know whether the details are still appropriate: 'The start and finish is in Little Gaddesden and the route goes down the Golden Valley behind Ashridge house, up onto the ridge behind Frithsden, down the roman road track to Nettleden before climbing up the path on the other side of the valley to the monastery. There is then a couple of kilometres on a flat track to Hudnall before turning back across rutted fields to Little Gaddesden. So if you are familiar with the Boundary Trail or the Dunstable 20, you would know a lot of this route. Not that you needed to know it as the marking and marshals were very good, even holding open the kissing gates as we went round. It was very well organised and has nice and relaxed feel.'

"There are also some junior races on the recreation ground and a 2M race aimed at juniors but anyone is welcome to run." Here are my notes from 2010: 'this 5M race starts with a run round a football field and then it's uphill for 1M - the race ends with a slight uphill - it's mainly on tarmac or concrete but there were a few small, loose gravel, uneven paths - accurate mile markers'.

One of the East Midlands Grand Prix (EMGP) series of midweek races during May, June, July and September taking place at Blisworth, Rugby, Banbury, Corby, Weedon, Harborough, Milton Keynes and Silverstone. You can enter the series using a postal entry form (which I have not yet seen) or by using online entry. There is a discount if you enter the series. Here are my notes from when I ran it a few years ago: 'this 5M is on rural roads in/near the outskirts of Banbury - there is a shortcut behind the school across its playing fields to the start - the start is in Browning Road which is in a housing estate off Bloxham Road - at the 1M marker, there is a slight hill - there is a big hill before the 3M marker and a slight dip at 3.6M - it is flat from 4M onwards and there is a slight decline to the finish which is near to where Bloxham Road joins Queensway.' This course map is useful as it not only has the route of the race (marked in red) but it also has the walking route from the Race HQ to the start (marked in blue) and the walking route from the finish to the Race HQ (marked in green).

The Otmoor Challenge is a half marathon along footpaths and roads around the Otmoor. Together with a 5M walk and a 13.1M walk, it forms one of the events of Horton-cum-Studley's Otmoor Day. "The Otmoor Challenge starts and finishes on the playing field where a traditional village fete is an added attraction for friends, family and your supporters while you are on the Run." If you enter in advance, your "race number must be collected from the Pre-Registration Desk" which is in one of the tents usually on the left-hand side (NE side) of the playing field. "The good news is that the first 11 miles are virtually flat. The course begins with a mass start of all runners on the playing field, and then has a short 400 metre road stretch before entering a track. This then leads across fields on footpaths, followed by farm tracks before rejoining the road near Murcott. Runners then have a fast road run through the villages of Murcott, Fencott, Charlton and Oddington before a mix of tracks and road to Noke and then there is the 'never-ending field' leading, at the 11 mile point, to a long climb up the hill to Beckley. There is then a steep upwards track and a welcome downhill footpath through fields and woods to rejoin the road for a final fast mile back to Horton cum Studley and the finish line."

"An event for both runners and families, the 5K run is open to everyone from the age of 8 years (8-11 years must be accompanied by an adult). There will also be a 1K run for 5-8 year olds with entry on the day only. Medals for all runners, BBQ breakfast, refreshments, bouncy castle and much more!"

"Venue is the Bourton Vale Cricket Club, Rissington Road (opposite to Birdland car park)."

Within a mile this race has climbed a hill out of the village offering spectacular views of the countryside, before visiting picturesque Cotswold villages before heading back into Bourton. The half marathon completes another lap of the same, before finishing in the grounds of Bourton Vale Cricket Club, with a final lap around their green.

"Collect race number and chip on the day." "Venue is The Brocas." "On an out and back course from Eton and Windsor, you'll be taking on not just other runners, but a target pace boat full of spectators that will be tracking you and trying to beat you back to the finish line. All runners set off together in a traditional race format, with a difference, because just yards from where you start on the Brocas fields in Eton, the 5 Thames Cruise boats will be starting too and they'll be full of your friends and family members ready to cheer you on, as you try to beat the boat." "The five boats will be clearly labelled as 40/50/55/60/70 mins respectively. So when entering, its important for you to try and decide which boat you'll be taking on, based on your predicted finish time over the course. Faster runners will be looking to beat the 40 min boat, and would therefore want any supporters to be on-board that one, whereas people running closer to 50 or 60 mins, would be chasing those boats." "The course is set under the beautiful backdrop of Windsor Castle and is a flat 10K run on mixed terrain and is not suitable for spikes. Whilst most of the course follows the Thames Path there are some sections that border fields and could become muddy if we have had persistent rain. There will be times when the course will deviate away from the Thames Path to give the boats time to turn around but don't worry you will soon be back on their trail again and racing them home!" "For runners of all abilities." "Chip timing." "Technical T-shirt, medal." "There is also a 1M fun run for ages 4 to 15 - it will be held before the main race (with enough time for them to finish and make it onboard the spectator boats)."

Although runbritain says Jul 13th, I understand that the race will take place on Jul 20th. "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".

"Due to the Oxford Half's popularity and limited capacity, a public ballot will be introduced for general entries. Ballot applications opened on Jan 7th 2019 and will close on Mar 1st 2019. Successful applicants will receive their invitations in Mar 2019." "The fast and flat route kicks off from the City Centre, and speeds by world-famous museums, universities, and parks. You'll dash through historic city streets, cross over the River Cherwell, out into the charming village of Old Marston, and back past the spectacular University Colleges." In 2018, the course started on Broad Street and it finished on Parks Road. "Live music, local bands and DJs will be on course to motivate trailblazing participants all the way to the finish line."
