"Race HQ is at The Spire and Spoke, Hill Road." " The start is a good 5 minute walk from the Race HQ so  make sure you allow plenty of time to park, register (collect your bib number) and get to the start line." "The run takes in a beautiful section of the ancient Ridgeway trail before heading steeply up into the wooded Chiltern Hills. A steep descent down Shirburn Hill with stunning views of the Oxfordshire plain leads to a fast track through beech woods followed by another steep (and we do mean steep) ascent of Watlington Hill. The final section down the hill is the runners' favourite and careful foot placement is needed through the fast twisting single-track back down to the Ridgeway to complete the course." "The event is very relaxed and run in the true spirit of fell running, a sense of cameraderie and no chip timing! Free drink for everyone with a race number at the Spire and Spoke after the event to help re-hydrate!"

"The estate is home to one of the most ancient deer herds in Britain, so keep your eyes peeled for the graceful fallow deer that have grazed here since medieval times. Out on the trails if you're lucky you may also spot the rare red kite, which have successfully been saved from national extinction in the area. All three routes weave through the estate and surrounding Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. However it's not all a blissful fairy-tale or a chance to spot rare wildlife, there are some ferocious trails to negotiate, with climbs and descents reaching gradients of 22% in parts. You'll need your head firmly focused on the task ahead to get through some parts of this event." "Dog-friendly event." "Wooden medal."

Frieth Hilly 10K and 5K
10K, 5K

ARC_24/0734
"Collect race number on the day." Frieth is a village in the Chilterns about 5M W 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 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, goodies."

"The start is on Marshcroft Lane which is a 10-15 minute walk from the Cricket Club." "A challenging trail run of about 15K, over a scenic route mainly on footpaths and bridleways with stunning Chiltern views." "Starting on the outskirts of Tring, the course gradually ascends into the Ashridge Estate, past the Bridgewater Monument, takes in a stretch of the famous Ridgeway Path and Pitstone Hill before descending back along quiet paths into Tring and finishing at the Cricket Club." "The course is multi-terrain. This means there are bumps and lumps and stumps and branches and all the hazards of the countryside. The descent of Incombe Hole can be very slippery when wet  and Pitstone Hill has a lot of rabbit holes - don't go down one!" "As in 2023, you will be to select 'Tees not Trees' instead of a finisher’s T-shirt."

This is just a guess at the date. Please e-mail me if you see any information on the web about this event. "The race attracts 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."

"Venue is the Stratford Recreation Ground." "The start and finish of the race is on the Shipston Road which is South of the river. But we will actually collect all runners under signs based on your race target time on Stratford Recreation Ground and then lead you out onto the Shipston Road." "All runners need to be ready to move out of the field at 0915, and then we will walk you out to the start line. The 10K runners will be led out to their start, and the half marathon in a different direction to theirs. When all runners are in place we will start the half marathon. As they reach the parallel 10K start we will start the 10K. Runners will converge after the first roundabout." "The races use courses that show everything that Shakespeare's Stratford has to offer with a finish coming past the Bard's RSC Theatre." "Previous results show that this event is ideal for gaining personal best times which is useful for both experienced runners and those new to the distance." "Medal." "The Half was new for 2023."

"Collect race number on the day." "Venue is the Compton Bassett Benson Hall, Briar Leaze." "This is a fast and flat race that all runners hunting down a PB will love." "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."

Hornton Classic 6
6M

OXONGP
This Facebook post says there are no entries on the day.
The race is moving from a Saturday evening to a Sunday morning. "This race is normally held annually at Hornton village which is 6M NW 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.

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." "Technical T-shirt, medal." "We'll also be adding an optional Kids 1M Fun Run held before the main race (with enough time for them to finish and make it onboard the spectator boats)."

Otmoor Challenge - Half and 10K
half marathon, 10K

"Collect race number on the day." "Venue is the Millennium Village Hall, Straight Mile." "The route of the  Half Marathon consists of 6Ms of quiet country roads and just over 7M of off-road sections including stiles, fields, uneven footpaths and bridleways, and one demanding hill at the 10M point at Beckley. The route circumnavigates Otmoor, a large RSPB conservation area, via 7 villages - historically described as 'The Seven Towns of Otmoor'." "New for 2024: there's a 10K - it starts and finishes alongside the Half and goes through the village and then joins the 5M walk route across fields and the back of the shooting range before joining the Half route at the infamous hill to Beckley. The route takes in livestock fields so will be rutted and uneven." "As well as the races there are also two marked walks: a 13.1M and a 5M." "The local WI will be providing refreshments on the day with cakes, tea and soft drinks."

"After a short distance through the village, both races join a footpath up to the top of picturesque Windmill Hill - one of the higher peaks in South Warwickshire." It looks to me to a be a climb of 74m in just under 1K. "From there, the 10K trail continues into neighbouring Compton Wynyates Estate - opened exclusively for this event. Taken through wood copses, across lush fields, past grazing sheep and deer - and up yet more hills - runners are treated to a true 10K challenge in a stunning landscape." "The 5K fun run also goes up to the summit of Windmill Hill from where you can take in the marvellous views before jogging, bounding or rolling back down again!" "Medal." "There is also a 5K walk."

The 10K was sold out by Apr 20th in 2024 and by May 22nd in 2023. "Following a review of the course, and taking into account feedback from last year’s race, we’re pleased to announce some improvements to the route. The changes remove a narrow footpath and the section over Speen Moors which has suffered water damage causing the path to become rough and unstable. A replacement section along Enborne Road has been added to make up the distance." "The race starts and finishes in a vibrant atmosphere at the centre of the idyllic market town." "There is a gentle climb for the first 3K, followed by a short descent and the rest of the course is flat. Approximately 7K of the course is on road, with the remainder taking place on footpaths in the beautiful surrounding countryside and along the towpath of the Kennet and Avon Canal which passes through the town centre." The new route is shown in the course map. "K markers." There are also a 0.9K run for ages 5 to 11 at 0910 and a 1.5K run for U16 at 0920."

half marathon, 5M

,
"Collect race number and chip on the day." "Early bird discount for the first 50 entries." "Race HQ is at the Dymock Cricket Club." "From the field in front of the pavilion, all runners head toward the centre of Dymock. Runners swing South out of the village through small country lanes, until reaching the M50 bridge at Four Oaks, where the Half heads left and the 5M 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. A climb to Candle Cottage on the edge of Kempley at the 10M mark, leads to an eastward turn for the final few miles back to Dymock and over the old railway bridge, before a descent back to the cricket club. For the 5M, following the right turn just before the Motorway bridge, runners follow the undulating road through Dymock woods. The route continues on the lane towards Normansland and a pair of fast straights to Dymock. Then the final part takes runners over the old railway bridge, past the Beauchamps Arms and a return to the cricket club." "Both courses are suitable for runners of all abilities." "Chip timing." "Medal."

One of the East Midlands Grand Prix (EMGP) series of weekday races that are taking place on May 1st at Silverstone, on May 17th at Blisworth, on May 21st at Banbury, on Jun 11th at Harborough, on Jun 25th at Weedon, on Jul 3rd at Corby, on Jul 9th at Milton Keynes and on Jul 17th at Rugby.
"Entries close at 2359 two days before the race". There is a discount if you enter the series. Although entries for the series were to close on Apr 29th, it closed earlier because the Silverstone 10K became full on Mar 12th.

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 shortcut from the Race HQ  to the start (marked in blue) and the route from the finish back to the Race HQ (marked in green)'.

Blenheim 7K
7.4K, 4M
"Early bird discount." "World Heritage site Blenheim Palace in Woodstock is the magical location for this family-friendly fun run with a beautiful lakeside off-road section. This beautiful and undulating route takes you past the palace and over the Grand Bridge before taking an off-road lakeside path (7K only) before re-joining the main path around the Palace grounds. The route offers a challenge for experienced runners while newbies and beginners can choose to jog or walk to take time to enjoy the spectacular surroundings. In addition to the main 7K, you can also take part in a 7K with your dog, a 4M for buggies and wheelchairs or a 1M for under 15s." The under 15s run starts before the other events meaning that parents can watch their children and participate in the 7K run." "Medal." "Accompanying spectators will also get into the grounds free."

Houghton 11K Trail Run
11K
"Collect race number on the day." "Venue is the Village Hall, Stevens Drove." "The 11K starts at about 1045." "It's mainly off-road with pretty good terrain and only a couple of areas where it gets a bit rutted. It is in a beautiful setting with a stunning section of bluebells at around 6K. Being a little longer than the standard 10K run, this attracts middle and long-distance runners as well as fun runners and walkers. The run joins the Test Way at around 8/9K and The Clarendon Way at around 10K. Walkers are asked to start behind the runners." "K markers." "Medal." 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.' "As well as the 11K, there are also a canicross 11K, a 4K fun run and 32K and 14K mountain bike rides."

"Venue is the Kintbury recreation ground behind the Jubilee Sports Centre." "Start time:1100."  "The race is run on quiet roads and tracks around Inkpen and Kintbury." "The course starts off undulating on tarmac roads until 2M, then follows a dirt and stony track, this is then followed by a flat 1.5M along a private tarmac road. To finish off, the last half a mile takes you through the centre of the village, along the high street and back to the recreation ground." "From 2006 until 2019 the race was named after a young athlete and villager called Ollie Johnson." Here are my notes from when I did it in 2009: 'this 5M race starts with a run round a football field and then it's uphill for 1M - the race ends with a slight uphill - it's mainly on tarmac or concrete but there were a few small, loose gravel, uneven paths - accurate mile markers'. "Medal." "There are also children's races." "Refreshments will be available throughout the morning. There will be children's entertainment while the main race is running. A bar and BBQ will also be open for you to celebrate your efforts with your friends and families after the run."

Banbury 15
15M

OXONGP
"Collect race number and chip on the day." "Race HQ is at the Spiceball Leisure Centre, Cherwell Drive." 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! "M markers." "Chip timing." "Medal." "There is a junior parkrun within the Park at 0900."

OXONCC OXONGP
"Collect race number and chip on the day." "Race HQ is on the Bourdillon Field behind Goring Primary School." "Starts at Storton Lodge and finishes at the Bourdillon Field." "Closed roads." "Chip timing." "Medal." 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.

Lions Club of Winslow 10K Road Race

"Collect race number on the day." "Venue is Furze Down School." "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 area 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. As mentioned above, 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!

10M, 5M

"Early bird discount until Oct 31st." "These races use a 5M lap that starts and finishes on the beautiful Bedford Embankment and runs out alongside the flat, tree lined river Ouse. Heading out towards Priory Park on hard standing traffic-free paths, you will loop around the beautiful Priory Lake before traversing the paths alongside the River Ouse and a finish line back on the embankment. The whole route is on traffic-free tarmac or firm paths and with less than 100m of elevation across the whole course its bound to be a crowd pleaser and PB beater." "There is also a free Children's Fun Run."

Boddington 10 (to replace the Staverton 10)
10M

GLRRSRACE IS FULL
"Collect race number and chip on the day." "Online entries will close on Jan 21st 2024, although we expect places to sell out before this date." The 2024 race was full on the day it opened - there is a waiting list. "Venue is the Gloucester Old Spot." "Starting at the top of  Boddington Lane, the race heads towards Boddington and then does 4 laps of Boddington/Barrow finishing back on Boddington Lane outside the premises of Robert Hitchings." "Chip timing." "Inaugural race."
This Facebook post says the Boddington 10 will replace the Staverton 10. This web page says "unfortunately the recent installation of a new cycle path along the route on Old Gloucester Road has rendered the Staverton 10 route inoperable - the route between Bamfurlong Lane and the Hare and Hounds Pub is too narrow to safely enable participants to run".

Woodcote 10K
10K

"Collect race number and chip on the day." "Venue is the Village Hall." "Attracting both club and non-affiliated runners, the Woodcote 10K is something of a challenge. Just completing the undulating, meandering course, along back roads, flanked by woods and farmland, gives a real sense of achievement. It is frequently described by participants as their favourite race of the year." "Chip timing." "Medal." My notes from when I did this in 2011 say 'this 10K is on country lanes in the Chilterns - it starts from the village green in Woodcote, goes downhill 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'.

Gibbet Hangover
10M, 5.5M
This web page says "email us to let us know if you are thinking about taking part so we have an idea of numbers in advance". "The start is at the Crown and Garter Pub, Great Common Road, Inkpen Common." "The Hangover is a 10 mile(ish) wander around the beautiful countryside of Inkpen and Combe. The route takes in Walbury Hill, Combe Gibbet, and the  Test Way, with a good mix of road and off-road (footpaths and bridleways), and a couple of decent climbs. We also have a shorter route of 5 miles or so for anybody who doesn't fancy the full distance. The finish is also at the Crown and Garter Pub, with a drink or two in the pub afterwards. Note that The Hangover is a casual get together, not a formal race event, so there is no entry fee, and the only prize is a pint for the first finisher." However, in previous years the organisers produced a set of results.
