| 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." |

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."

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."

"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. |

| Hornton Classic 6
6M
| UKA_2020-38978 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". |

"The Race HQ and car park for the Banbury 5 is at Banbury Academy, Ruskin Road."

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). |

5M
| In 2019 this event had an ARC permit WTRRL POSTPONED | | 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. |

| Dymock Half Marathon and 10K - POSTPONED
half marathon, 10K
| In 2019 this event had a UKA licence POSTPONED | | 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 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." |

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."

"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.' |

| UKA_2020-39231 OXONGP 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. "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. |

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.

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".

| UKA_2020-39343 | | "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.

"Running alongside the water, using dam wall pathways and a perimeter service road, you will find mesmerising views of nature trails, wildlife and boats on the water as you notch up kilometre after kilometre.
