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.

"Collect race number and chip on the day." Like 2018 the race is starting at 1015. My notes from when I did this in 2011 say 'This 10K is on country lanes in the Chilterns. It starts from the village green in Woodcote, goes down hill along lanes through woods to Goring. At 5K, it goes up the killer hill that is outside Goring's Fire Station, the same hill that is used for the start of the Goring 10K. There is then a 1K respite but this is followed by a long climb back to Woodcote. Elsewhere on the web, someone says it's a "tough road race, 5K downhill followed by 5K uphill" and that describes it very well.' "K markers." "Chip timing." "Medal." Previously this race was known as the 'Goring, Woodcote and District Lions 10K'.

A map of the route shows the course varying from about 85m to 113m. When I ran it in 2010 I found a long gentle incline lasting from 3.5K to 5K and another short one at 5.5K. But the cruel bit was at the end: there was a steep hill from 9K to 9.5K. Needless to say this is where the official photographer was positioned to catch all the grimaces!

"Collect race number and chip on the day." "We sold out in advance in 2016." 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 this is then followed by 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.

This is the date that is given at www.runbritain.com. "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".

My notes from when I did it in 2010 say: 'from 0.5M to 1.5M there is a 500 feet climb - there is then two laps of a 3.4M circuit through the woods; finally you return down the hill to the finish - the woods are gorgeous and they reminded me of my training runs in the Chilterns - I even heard some Red Kites - the terrain in the woods was rough and undulating'.
