"Collect race number on the day." "Early bird until Sep 8th." "Venue is the Recreation Field, Barnes Green." "Start time: 1100." "This year is the Bash's 6th year and as before it will attract off road enthusiasts from all over Wiltshire and beyond. Off road newbies will also find it a great introduction to multi terrain running as it includes a variety of surfaces with quiet paths, tracks, byways and some minor lanes in rural North Wiltshire. The undulating and varied route is generally firm underfoot in September although a wet summer could make some sections interestingly muddy, as it did in 2017! But there are also some fast sections and in dry conditions such as last year when a new course record was set, very fast times are possible." "Spot prizes." "Medal, goodies."

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." "Medal, goody bag."

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.'

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!

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

The organisers describe the race as "flat and fast", the only hill on the course being a railway bridge over the railway line from Didcot to Swindon (which is visited twice).

This is the date that is given at www.runbritain.com. Be aware that in 2018 the race was full before the day of the race. "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!"

Usually there is a considerable discount if you enter the Series and members of some clubs get an even bigger discount if they instead enter through their club. No new entries were taken on the night for any of the 2019 races. In previous years, there were chip timing and spot prizes and you got a memento if you enter the Series. "Venue of the Charlton-on-Otmoor race is the Recreation Ground, High Street." In 2019 this race used the 5.2M course adopted in a hurry in 2018 - it's two laps of the initial circle rather than a figure-of-eight - the figure-of-eight course was 4.0955M long.

Although this is the date that is given at www.runbritain.com that would mean the race is switching to a Friday night. My guess is the race will be held on Sat Jul 18th. "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".
