Races publishing Covid-19 plans. This web page now includes several races planning to take place with Covid-19 restrictions. Where a race publishes plans for abiding by the Covid-19 regulations, the advert on this web page includes some details of those plans. All this may change if the Government alters the Covid-19 regulations. Above there's a button enabling you just to see those races that have announced some Covid-19 plans. If you know of any other road/trail races advertising their Covid-19 plans, then please e-mail me. There are also buttons enabling you to hide all the cancelled/postponed races so that you can easily see what may be taking place.
Although some race organisers say they are "postponing their race to 2021" on this web page that race is identified as "cancelled". And "postponed" is only used for those races which have a new date in 2020 or for those races where the organiser is looking for a new date in 2020. Races that have been converted into virtual runs are marked as "cancelled".

As the web page to enter now enters you for next year's event, I assume that this year's event has been cancelled. "Start time: 1400."  "The start is in front of the iconic tower of the Hook Norton Brewery, from where runners proceed down Brewery Lane, past The Pear Tree pub and up a gentle hill towards The Sun Inn. A right turn down steep Bell Hill, then up a small incline then level out along Burycroft Road. At the end of this road which is at about the 1M point, there's a staggered crossing. Then the route goes off road to do the most challenging part of the circuit: it's up a steep and rough track, with magnificent views of the brewery and village to your right. The route then climbs up Oatley Hill, before again levelling out, and getting to halfway. After crossing a field there is a flat road section of a mile or so, before a nice downhill section. Then it’s off road again - you cross several flat grass fields, with the Brewery coming back into view. Circumnavigate the horses and hurdle over any sleeping goats, and you’re at the finish line/bar!" "Medal, goody bag and a free drink."

"There is a short road section down Castle Street, Hopcraft Lane and St Thomas Street to Chapmans Lane. Here the routes follow a track through Leadenporch Farm at which point the two routes diverge.

In the  village you turn left along a short section of pavement before taking a footpath on the left through Home Farm.

Here are my notes from when I did it in 2010: 'This is a gorgeous run that takes place around Houghton which is a village in the Test valley that is about halfway between Salisbury and Winchester. It's mainly off-road: it starts with a long gentle climb along a rutted cart track; then down along rough tarmac; uses a footbridge to bypass a ford (or you can run through!); then there is a narrow footpath that climbs gently up through a wood (where you are warned to watch out for tree roots). The rest of the course is either flat or downhill, again on rough tarmac, on wide bridleways/cart-tracks or on grassy footpaths through fields where there are two stiles. The route also passes a bluebell wood, a magnificently preserved disused railway station and several bridges across the River Test.' "K markers." "Medal." "As well as the 11K, there are also a canicross 11K, a 4K fun run and 32K and 14K mountain bike rides."

This web page says the event has been cancelled. It also says "we are planning a virtual 10K". "Collect race number and chip on the day." "Venue is the Dymock Cricket Club, The Pound." "New for 2020: there's also a 10K." "Start times: 0915:10K, 0930:half." "Both courses run through beautiful rural countryside. The Half is a road race, but mainly on very quiet lanes with only about 600 yards of B road. It would best be described as hilly/undulating and as such not one for a PB.  The 10K course follows the same first 2 miles as the Half, but with this run you get some beautiful woodland running to mix it up. Both events swing South out of the village through small country lanes, where the Half crosses the M50 for the first time at Four Oaks, the 10K at this points turns right towards Dymock Woods. A quick detour for the Half around Holder's lane deposits us on the Kempley road heading North into Queen's Wood (the epicentre of the famous Daffodil Walk) and into the pretty village of Kempley. Once through Kempley, turning at Kempley New Church, the route tends North on a gradual incline towards Much Marcle, before doubling back past Kempley Old Church and the historic Memorial Oak (location of the last drinks station for the half) before returning to  Candle Cottage on the edge of Kempley prior to veering back Eastward for the final few miles back to Dymock and over the old railway bridge. For the 10K, following the right turn just before the Motorway bridge, you need to loop (only once) through Dymock Woods, you continue on the lane through towards Norman's Land towards Dymock, once back to Dymock back over the old railway bridge, both races then go past the Beauchamps Arms and sprint to the finish." I don't know how accurate this map is. "M markers." "Chip timing." "Medal."

"The final 1.5M Long Walk is particularly impressive. The impressive sight of Windsor Castle in the distance beyond the finish line is quite outstanding and not something many will forget quickly." "The course is best described as undulating. It has many flat stretches, but there are some hilly sections to make the race a bit more interesting. It is all on traffic-free roads." "Chip timing."

updated:Jun05

This web page says the event has been cancelled. 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." "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."

This web page says "it is, therefore, our aim update runners with how the event will be delivered safely no later than week commencing Sep 28th to give you time to adjust, plan and make final preparations". This web page says the event has been postponed from Apr 5th to Nov 1st - "it may be subject to change should there be a new directive from the government". With regard to Covid-19, this web page says "we are working hard to test every possible scenario - some of our scenarios include social distancing, staggered starts, management of spectators, services and much more." "Start times: 0830:5K, 0900:Half." In 2019 I saw this description: '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.' In 2019 the 5K was 'a two lap, closed road city centre 5K'. "M markers." In 2017 chip timing was used. "Technical T-shirt, medal." "There is also a Wheelchair 2.5K." "Part of the Festival of Running which also includes a Children's Mile and a Toddler Dash."
