2016 Goring 10K

As no races are taking place at the moment, I'm creating some web pages entitled "where I was taking photos this time last year". Today, I'm looking at the Goring 10K which takes place from Goring which is about 19M from Oxford.

The Goring 10K takes place on undulating rural lanes and footpaths. It has three hills and starts at the bottom of a hill outside Goring's Fire Station. This first 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. This year's race was to have taken place today (Sun Mar 14th 2021). Unfortunately, because of Covid-19 it has had to be cancelled.

I last took photos of the Goring 10K back in 2016. You can click on any of the photos to see the photo in hi-res.

Postscript

If you did the Goring 10K in 2016 and want a reminder, then here's a link to all the photos that I took. There's a calculator on that web page that makes it easy to find the photos of a runner given their time and you can find the time from the results web page.

If you want to see the reviews I've done on other races, then here's a link to a web page that includes an index of the reviews of races.

I'm planning for my next review to be of the 2020 Banbury 15 that took place at Banbury on Sun Mar 15th 2020. I hope to post that on Sun Mar 21st 2021.

I maintain a web page for runners that provides a list of races near Oxfordshire and the latest results. So go and visit www.oxonraces.com to see what races may take place. And if you use twitter, you may want to follow @oxonraces to become aware of important changes to this web page.
