"Collect race number and chip on the day." This web page says "we will run this event as per England Athletics and UK Government guidelines in regard to Covid-19". "This will be the 30th Dymock Half Marathon but the Dymock 10K is new for 2021." "Venue is the Dymock Cricket Club, The Pound." "Start times: 0900:10K, 0915:Half." "Both courses run through beautiful rural countryside. The Half is a road race through the rolling countryside of the Gloucestershire Herefordshire borders, 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, although we are confident a new course record could be set again this year, and there will be a prize for a course record. 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." "M markers." "Chip timing." "Medal."

Entries opened on Apr 7th and the race was full by Apr 9th. This race has moved from a Sat to a Sun. "Start time: 1600." "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."

The Forest is close to the M1 - it is midway between Milton Keynes and Northampton. "Whether you are a 5K Forest Runner or a 10K Forest Runner, choose your challenge and enjoy a run in some beautiful surroundings. The routes follow flat, stoned forest roads giving a solid surface underfoot. The 10K route starts on the same road as the 5K route, before heading to the outskirts of the forest where you might catch a glimpse of the many butterfly species present in Salcey. The 5K route takes you past the Elephant Pond - named after the giant creatures that used to bathe in the pond during the Second World War. As you approach the finish line, you'll recognise that you're back to where you started, perfect for a fast finish."

"Race HQ is the medieval Tithe Barn near to Postlip Hall (about 2.5K SW of Winchcombe)." "This is a tough and hilly 14.25M multi-terrain race. It starts near to the Tithe Barn and covers the highest points of the Cotswold hills on Cleeve common, before heading into the countryside and returning to Postlip via the Belas Knap neolithic burial mound."

This web page says the event has been cancelled - "we are planning on hosting the next event in May 2022". 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."

All three routes weave through the estate and surrounding Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

"Our annual cross country race takes place over a picturesque 7(ish) mile course. Starting from the Sports and Social Club, the course takes you through the beautiful Cotswold countryside.

It starts at the famous Iffley Road track (Jackdaw Lane, Iffley Road) where Roger Bannister broke the 4 minute barrier. Each leg of the relay is 4.35M and the race is open to Men's teams (4 runners), Women's teams (4 runners) and Mixed teams (2 female and 2 male runners)." "Every year THR draws a large attendance from both serious runners and those out to keep fit and have fun. In addition to outside University and club teams, the day traditionally sees a large number of entrants from internal college/department/sports clubs/corporate teams/unattached teams - all abilities are welcomed." "The route starts on the Iffley Track, uses side roads to get to Donnington Bridge, along the towpath to Folly Bridge, round Christ Church Meadow, along Rose Lane, across Magdalen Bridge and along Iffley Road back to the Track."

"Collect race number on the day." Although the organiser's web page says "entries will only be allowed on the day if the race is not full", be aware that it was full on Jan 12th in 2020 and by Feb 9th in 2018. "Venue is the Bridgewater Monument, Ashridge Estate Visitor Centre." The Estate is NE of Tring and NW of Berkhamsted. "The boundary trail route follows well-marked paths around the beautiful Ashridge Estate." "The race this year will be run in an anti-clockwise direction." So first it heads towards Northchurch Common, then to Little Gaddesden, Ringshall and Ivinghoe Beacon before heading back to the start. "The only deviation from the official boundary route is that entrants will go to the top of Ivinghoe Beacon." "Gift."

This race is one of a series held at Charlton-on-Otmoor, Bletchingdon, Combe, Combe and Kidlington. This is a provisional date for this race. It is given in this notice that appeared at the race on Aug 26th 2021. In previous years, there has been a considerable discount if you enter the series and members of some clubs got an even bigger discount if they instead enter through their club. "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.

This is the date that is given at www.runbritain.com. In previous years, the Race HQ and car park has been 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).
