"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". Here is a link to a map produced by the course measurer and I think it is up-to-date. 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".

This web page says the event has had "to be postponed until the Summer of 2021". "Collect race number and chip on the day." "Venue is The Brocas." "This is a completely unique 10K trail race. An out and back course from Eton and Windsor, you'll be taking on not just other runners, but a target pace boat full of spectators that will be tracking you and trying to beat you back to the finish line. All runners set off together in a traditional race format, with a difference, because just yards from where you start on the Brocas fields in Eton, the 5 Thames Cruise boats will be starting too and they'll be full of your friends and family members ready to cheer you on, as you try to beat the boat." "The 5 boats will be clearly labelled as 40/50/55/60/70 mins respectively. So when entering, it's important for you to try and decide which boat you'll be taking on, based on your predicted finish time over the course. Faster runners will be looking to beat the 40 min boat, and would therefore want any supporters to be on-board that one, whereas people running closer to 50 or 60 mins, would be chasing those boats." "For runners of all abilities." "Chip timing." "Technical T-shirt, medal." "There is also a Kids 1M fun - it will be held before the main race (with enough time for them to finish and make it onboard the spectator boats)." Runners from Cherwell R&J star in this flyer.

"On the day entries only available if not sold out - it is likely that the limit of 300 will have been reached." "Venue is the Compton Bassett Benson Hall, Briar Leaze." "The start is about 0.25K from the Hall." "The route starts by you running out on the minor C15, Compton Bassett road towards [a hamlet called] Highway. At circa 0.8M you will leave this road and turn right to begin the next section of the route: the 'Highway Loop'. This loop is a quiet unclassified country road that is, most importantly, nice and level to ensure that you settle into your rhythm for the next couple of miles. As you reach half distance you will rejoin the C15, Compton Bassett road, albeit further up than when you initially left it. The route then continues along this road, turning left again at circa 3.2M to continue along this road until at just over 4 miles where you will bear right to remain on the road that you left it earlier to begin the final mile back to the Hall." "Fast and flat." "Chip timing." "Medal." Compton Bassett is about 5M from Calne and 15M from Swindon.

This web page says the Series has been cancelled. This is one of a series of races held at Charlton-on-Otmoor, Bletchingdon, Combe, Combe and Kidlington. This web page is using the provisional dates that are given on the Mota-vation web page. 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. Although in previous years the last race has been held in Oxford, in 2019 it was held at Stratfield Brake in Kidlington. "The course is predominantly on mown grass, but partly on gravelled footpaths, with slightly uneven grass transitions. Overall, the course is flat - the elevation variation is a maximum of 13 feet."

"Collect race number on the day." "Race HQ is on Alderton Playing Field." "The race is an out-and-back course run on closed roads on scenic country lanes from Alderton." "The start is at the junction of Beckford Road and Willow Bank Road, just outside the Gardeners Arms pub - it is 150 metres from the Race HQ." "You run along Beckford Road, past the Race HQ and towards the hamlet of Great Washbourne. The run turns just before the A46 at Beckford returning along Beckford Road towards Alderton Playing Field where it will go through the five-bar gate before doing a short lap of the football pitch and finishing near the penalty spot." "The course is fairly flat, ideal for the occasional jogger or the more serious runner looking to clock a good 5K time. It has a small descent on the way out and a small ascent on the way back after the turn. Times range from 17.05 to nearer the hour." "Medal." "The event is family friendly - kids activities, games and refreshments." Alderton is in Glos about 4M NW of Winchcombe and about halfway between Cheltenham and Evesham.

The Forest is close to the M1 - it is midway between Milton Keynes and Northampton. "These races use the gently undulating forest paths and trails in and around Salcey Forest. The event is open to participants of all abilities, from novices to experienced athletes and is perfect for those looking to complete their first half marathon trail run. And if the Half doesn't quite suit, why not try the 10K?" "Chip timing." "Medal, goody bag." "Inaugural event." There are also a 10K and 5K on Jun 28th 2020.

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."

"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."

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."

Also, there are likely to be cattle on the fields." "However, we are well supported by the farmer who will ensure that the cattle are out of harm's way."

"The course for both the 10K and the half marathon are very fast. The half marathon is a two lap route, whereas the 10K is one lap. The race is run entirely on hard ground, 90 percent of which will be on pavements. The remaining 10 percent will be on the roads surrounding Brunel University." "The course is described as fast but mildly undulating."

"Early bird discount until Aug 1st 2020." "Venue is the Wolverton Stonehouse pub." "This race takes in the beautiful countryside just north of Milton Keynes. It will take in many of the sites of our traditional Cattle Creep 10K route but take the run a little further! The Cattle Creep will as ever, remain an essential part of the route so mind your head!" This race was first held in 2020.

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

Our multi terrain course is very challenging but also achingly pretty. It takes you through the 'Vicar of Dibley' village of Turville, past the 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang' windmill and starts and finishes in Hambleden Village itself, which has seen more film sets than you can count."
