This web page says the event has been cancelled. In 2019 the race opened for entries on Sep 29th and it was full on Oct 2nd, i.e., "in 89 hours".

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

The following comments were appropriate for 2019: "there was a charge for the car park - the Half started first, then the 10K and then the 5K - the 5K course was 1 lap; the 10K was 2 laps; and the Half followed the 5K course but then split off to follow the old Nene Valley Railway line towards Thrapston - once runners reached the turnaround point they ran back down the railway line to re-join the 5K course - this was done twice".

It is an absolute must for anyone looking for a break from the pavement grind and a change of scenery.

Tamworth Road takes the runners on another downhill section back into the suburbia that is the Coundon area with great views of the city centre skyline - on the home straight the runners will head down Radford Road and reach their goal at the finish line on Hales Street.'

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

In 2019 this event had an ARC permit CANCELLED
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."

This web page says the event has been cancelled. "The race heads up West Street. The route then takes you along the path that runs parallel to Stowe Avenue, until approx 3K when you take a turn into Stowe Gardens for a lovely scenic loop around the beautiful Stowe Gardens and some farmland, then back down Stowe Avenue to the finish." "The majority of the course is on hard paths, so road shoes should be fine." "It's an undulating route - plenty of small ups and downs to challenge the more hardened runner, but not big enough to deter a first timer!"

ARC_20/292 CANCELLED
This web page says the event has been cancelled. The race was full by about Sep 20th in 2019. "A challenging trail run of  about 15.5K, 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."

marathon, half marathon, 10K
POSTPONED
It would be appear that the event (originally planned for May 17th) and then postponed to Oct 4th is now on Nov 29th. The web pages for the three races each have details about Covid-19 changes. They include "no on-the-day entries - numbers including the chip will be posted - no briefings will be provided on the day unless something has changed - no spectators - limited bag drop - each event will have a rolling wave start with participants starting individually at 15s intervals". "Venue is Alexandra Gardens, Barry Avenue." "Start times: 0830-0900:marathon, 0900-1015:half, 1015-1130:10K." "With a finish at the foot of Windsor Castle, a royal home and fortress for over 900 years, the entirely flat course guides you along the River Thames following scenic trails with some fantastic views of the surrounding areas. The course incorporates many of the key landmarks that have made Royal Berkshire and its surrounding area so famous. It is an absolute must for anyone looking for a break from the pavement grind and a change of scenery. These races are not designed to be gruelling cross country through deep mud and puddles, but aims to be fun, friendly and fast trail runs along one of England's most historic courses." "Chip timing."

In 2019 this event had an ARC permit CANCELLED
This web page says "we are postponing the 2020 Bash - hoping to reschedule for sometime in early 2021." "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."

Either you do 13.1M (min age 18) or you can enter a team that does the route as a relay. For the relay, there are two distances to choose from: 3.5M (min age 15) and 2.3M (min age 10). The whole team must run the same route with each member running the entire loop before handing their Squeaky Bone baton to the next team member. Each team needs four team members, if you don't know who the four people are when you do your entry you can still create a team with 'dummy' members and update their details later."

"Access to the Park will be from the minor road to the North, near the polo ground (the old Roman Road 'Akeman Street'), not the main Park entrance" - I think that is near Park Farm (OX5 3JQ).

"Collect race number and chip on the day." "Parking will be near the finish in Delapre Country Park (NN4 8AW) - the walking route to the start will be signed and is 1M." "Registration will be located at The Old Bank pub which is opposite the Guildhall." "There are two races: the Half Marathon and the Size 6 which is 6.9M." "The Half Marathon starts in the shadow of the imposing Guildhall and initially routes up to the Race Course via St. Giles Street and Kettering Road, following the perimeter of the Race Course the course heads back into town via Barrack Road, Lady's Lane and Abington Street and back to the Guildhall completing the 5K Town Centre section. The Half then heads down to Beckets Park via the cultural museum and Derngate theatre before heading to the banks of the river Nene. We follow the river to the white water centre and then into Brackmills and then out into the country to Great Houghton. From there it is back into Brackmills and then to the finish on the front lawn of Delapre Abbey." "Like the Half, the Size 6 race starts at the Guildhall at 0930. It shares the route of the Half until about 5M and then it shortcuts to roughly the 11.5M point of the Half's route and so like the Half it finishes in the grounds of  Delapre Abbey." "Chip timing."

Dymock Half Marathon and 10K
half marathon, 10K

, CANCELLED
This web page says the event has been cancelled. It also says "we are planning a virtual 10K". "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."

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.' "K markers." "Medal." "As well as the 11K, there are also a canicross 11K, a 4K fun run and 32K and 14K mountain bike rides."

CANCELLED
As the web page to enter now enters you for next year's event, I assume that this year's event has been cancelled. "Start time: 1400."  "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 its 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 youre at the finish line/bar!" "Medal, goody bag and a free drink."

Helmdon Hurler

CANCELLED
This web page says the event has been cancelled. "The route combines the country lanes of Helmdon with the hard-surfaced 'Astwell track'". "The route is gently undulating but not too difficult, even for beginner runners." I think this map is accurate. "The Helmdon Hurler is a fun race for everyone - young and old, males and females, fit and not so fit. Treat it as a time trial, or amble around at your own pace."

"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."

Mota-vation Race 5 Kidlington
3.94M

CANCELLED
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."

The race will start in waves from 1000 to 1230 with a maximum of 6 people every 2 minutes. All runners will need a face covering for the start area (not for running) - a buff is ideal as it can then be worn on wrist or round neck whilst running.The track is approx. 14 metres wide, so overtaking and keeping a 2 metre distance to others is possible. There will be no prize giving. One spectator per runner is permitted on site and they can watch from the bank opposite the car park entrance only." When you enter, you choose a 30 minute window for your start time. "Officially measured 10K run over a flat, smooth, running surface on the famous Castle Combe race circuit.

This web page says the event originally planned for May 31st and postponed to Aug 23rd has now been cancelled. "Collect race number and chip on the day." "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.

CANCELLED
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.

Standish Woodland Chase

, CANCELLED
As the web page for this event is now about next year's event, I assume that this year's event has been cancelled. "Collect race number on the day." "Venue is the Horsemarling Farm." "It's a multi-terrain race that follows parts of the Cotswold Way." "The route is hilly and run on mainly woodland trails, with some road along the scenic Cotswold escarpment." "The first 200 finishers will get a unique medal part of the interlocking race series medal." "One of the three races of the Roger Briers Race Series." My notes from when I did it in 2010 say: 'from 0.5M to 1.5M there is a 500 feet climb - there are then two laps of a 3.4M circuit through the woods; finally you return down the hill to the finish - the woods are gorgeous and they reminded me of my training runs in the Chilterns - I even heard some Red Kites - the terrain in the woods was rough and undulating'.

Hornton Classic 6
6M

OXONGP
"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".

ARC_20/176, UKA_2020-40367 CANCELLED
This web page says the event has been cancelled. This Facebook post says the "Ollie Johnson Memorial Kintbury 5" will in future be known as the "Kintbury 5".  "Venue is the Kintbury recreation ground behind the Jubilee Sports Centre." "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." Here are my notes from 2010: '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 M markers'. "Before the start of the 5M race, we offer children races for 3 age groups."
This race is one of the Run West Berks Series of races taking place at Chieveley on May 3rd, Kintbury on Jun 7th, Hungerford on Jun 21st and Inkpen on Jul 5th. Here is a link to entering the Series.

Otmoor Challenge
half marathon
CANCELLED
This web page says the event has been cancelled. The Otmoor Challenge is a half marathon along footpaths and roads around the Otmoor. Together with a 5M walk and a 13.1M walk, it forms one of the events of Horton-cum-Studley's Otmoor Day. "The Otmoor Challenge starts and finishes on the playing field where a traditional village fete is an added attraction for friends, family and your supporters while you are on the Run." If you enter in advance, your "race number must be collected from the Pre-Registration Desk" which is in one of the tents usually on the left-hand side (NE side) of the playing field. "The good news is that the first 11 miles are virtually flat. The course begins with a mass start of all runners on the playing field, and then has a short 400 metre road stretch before entering a track. This then leads across fields on footpaths, followed by farm tracks before rejoining the road near Murcott. Runners then have a fast road run through the villages of Murcott, Fencott, Charlton and Oddington before a mix of tracks and road to Noke and then there is the 'never-ending field' leading, at the 11 mile point, to a long climb up the hill to Beckley. There is then a steep upwards track and a welcome downhill footpath through fields and woods to rejoin the road for a final fast mile back to Horton cum Studley and the finish line." "The first 350 runners finishing receive a medal." "Runners are encouraged to form teams of four, which can be male, female or mixed, to win team prizes."

"The Race HQ and car park for the Banbury 5 is 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).

This web page says the event (originally planned for May 31st) is now on Aug 23rd. "Collect race number and chip on the day." "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.

The runbritain web page for this event (originally planned for Sun May 24th) now has the event on Sat Sep 26th - the online entry page is for the old date and it's not taking new entries - please e-mail me if you see any other information on the web about this event. "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."

"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 its 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 youre at the finish line/bar!"

Deddington Four Farms Challenge - POSTPONED
10K, 5K
POSTPONED
This web page says the event has been postponed to Sep 20th. I've not seen a postal entry form yet. "Venue is the historic 11th century Castle Grounds." "There is a short road section down Castle Street, Hopcraft Lane and St Thomas Street to Chapmans Lane. Here the routes follow a track through Leadenporch Farm at which point the two routes diverge. The 5K turns left and follows a bridleway back to the Clifton Road where it joins the pavement back to Deddington and the Castle Grounds. The 10K carries on via a bridleway across Appletree Farm and Manor Farm into the village of Clifton. In the  village you turn left along a short section of pavement before taking a footpath on the left through Home Farm. This takes you back across the fields and joins the latter part of the 5K route back into Deddington." "Be aware that you will be running across the land of working farms and you may need to give way to farm traffic." In 2019 there was a BBQ, licenced bar, fresh coffee, cake stalls, lots of fun activities for under 5s.

This web page says the event has been postponed to Sep 20th. "Venue is the Village Hall, Stevens Drove." "The 11K starts at about 1045." 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.' "K markers." "Medal." "As well as the 11K, there are also a canicross 11K, a 4K fun run and 32K and 14K mountain bike rides."

10K, 5K
POSTPONED
This web page says the event has been postponed - "the organisers are hoping to hold it in the Autumn". "Venue is the Village Sports Ground." "A fantastic cross country 10K and 5K run across the Hertfordshire countryside." Here's a useful description of the 2013 Gaddesden Gallop 10K that appeared in a newsletter of the Tring Running Club - I don't know whether the details are still appropriate: 'The start and finish is in Little Gaddesden and the route goes down the Golden Valley behind Ashridge house, up onto the ridge behind Frithsden, down the Roman road track to Nettleden before climbing up the path on the other side of the valley to the monastery. There is then a couple of kilometres on a flat track to Hudnall before turning back across rutted fields to Little Gaddesden. So if you are familiar with the Boundary Trail or the Dunstable 20,  you would know a lot of this route. Not that you needed to know it as the marking and marshals were very good, even holding open the kissing gates as we went round. It was very well organised and has nice and relaxed feel.'

Mota-vation Race 1 Charlton-on-Otmoor
5.1968M

OXONGPCANCELLED
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. "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 web page says the event has been postponed to Nov 1st. "Start times: 0830:5K, 0900:Half." In 2019 I saw this description: 'The closed road Half Marathon starts in Millennium Place leading onto Radford Road before heading into Allesley.

Tamworth Road takes the runners on another downhill section back into the suburbia that is the Coundon area with great views of the city centre skyline - on the home straight the runners will head down Radford Road and reach their goal at the finish line on Hales Street.'

22K, 14K, 8K
POSTPONED
This web page now says the event will take place on Jul 4th. "Venue is the Princes Risborough School, Merton Road." "This event sold out in record time in 2019 so make sure you book early to avoid disappointment. Nestled in the heart of England these routes really deliver on all levels, you will find yourself winding through ancient woodland, steeped in history with incredible views over the surrounding Chiltern Hills AONB." "The routes start off by climbing up to Whiteleaf Hill, where you will see the famous white leaf chalk cross, and again stunning views of the surrounding area." "Whilst running you will be greeted with the sound of Red Kites soaring high above. And you will find yourselves running on various famous paths such as the Icknield Way, which is one of the oldest roads in Britain - it consists of  prehistoric pathways, already old when the Romans set foot upon it. It survives now as splendid green lanes." "A section of the long route takes you to a viewpoint where you can see 'Chequers', the famous 16th Century country home of the Prime Minister." "Medal." This race was first held in 2019.

"Collect race number and chip on the day." "Venue is the Spiceball Leisure Centre." 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! "Chip timing." "Memento." The race has been renamed "Geoff Smith's Banbury 15". Geoff Smith, a former chairman of Banbury Harriers, died in May 2015. "Smithy was the spearhead of The Banbury Fifteen road-race". There are also 1M and 2.5M Paul Bithell Memorial fun runs (at 1040).

Goring 10K
10K

"Collect race number and chip on the day." Although entries on the day are permitted if the race is not full, "we have sold out in previous years". 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
10K

"Collect race number on the day." "Venue is Furze Down School, Verney Road." "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!

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." Even so, in 2014-19, the organisers produced a set of results.
