The course starts in the lovely Country Park near the famous water wheel and legendary sites from 'The Eagle Has Landed' - you'll wind your way around the estate trails, local roads, woodlands and footpaths. The scenery is well worth the hard work!" "We have made the courses as flat as we can for you." There is also a dog friendly canicross event over the 10K course." "Inaugural event."

This is the date that is given at www.runbritain.com. "The race uses a 2 lap, flat and fast course. It heads out of the airport, and into Churchdown via Cheltenham Road East.

This post to twitter says "we have had to make a very difficult decision to postpone the Winslow 10K planned for February 2021. ... We will be back in 2022!" "The route, which is a single lap on country lanes is quiet, pleasant and rural through the North Bucks countryside. It leaves Winslow and passes Verney Junction, Sandhills then East Claydon and returns via the Granborough Road to Winslow. (With a bit of a climb to finish, so keep something back!)" 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!

I understand the event has been cancelled. 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.

This web page says "the race will not take place in March but we have not ruled out holding it later in the year". 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 of 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!

The event that was to have been on Jun 20th 2020 was first postponed to Oct 3rd 2020 and then to Apr 17th 2021. However, I understand the event has now been cancelled. "Venue is the stunning setting of Shutford Manor House Park." "Start time: 1230." "The 10K is two laps of the 5K's route." "The route follows footpaths and bridleways to the south and west of the village, including a section of ancient road past Madmarston Hill. The route also takes you past Jester's Hill and the Shutford Beacon which was erected to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of VE Day." "The run route is a mix of undulating grass, trail, and path." "Chip timing." "Medal." "Inaugural event." I've written a web page that has maps and photos for the route of the races. The races are on the same day as the Shutford Festival. Shutford is about 5M West of Banbury.

There is a steeper incline as you leave Welford towards Long Marston, which is the most significant hill on the course, and rises approximately 31m over some 1100 meters (1:35 average – 1:15 steepest part for 150m) and descends some 28m over some 450 meters (1:18 average – 1:10 steepest part for 150m)."

This web page says "a provisional date of Tue May 25th has been agreed for the EMGP series Banbury 5 event, if circumstances allow this to go ahead.". Usually the Race HQ and car park is at Banbury Academy, Ruskin Road. 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).
