"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!"

"Race HQ is at the Old Town Hall." "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!" "Chip timing." "Medal."

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

In 2022 this event had an ARC permit
"Collect race number on the day." "Early bird discount is available until Jul 31st." 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."

Cancelled in 2022, will this race take place in 2023? This is just a guess at the date. Please e-mail me if you see any information on the web about this event. "The Green Leek Run is a multi-terrain point to point route from Burton Green to Leek Wootton. The run start is approximately a 5 minute walk from the start HQ at Burton Green School. The route initially follows the Kenilworth Greenway for 4.5K, a wide Sustrans footpath with excellent surface, crossing Abbey Fields park on mown grass, then tarmac footpath to Castle Farm sports pitches. Leaving the sports pitches the route follows a footpath across farmland, then a hardcore path to Rouncil Lane. There are only gates not stiles. After crossing Rouncil Lane the route crosses a short field then joins a trail around the Warwickshire golf course to finish on a large field overlooking the health club and parking."

"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!"

This Facebook post says the event will not take place in 2023. "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."

This is the provisional date that is given at www.runbritain.com. This would mean the race is moving from a Sun to a Sat - I need to check this later. I will add a link to onlineEntry when this becomes available on runbritain. Previously entries opened on 2022-08-10, 2021-07-10, 2020-07-28, 2019-06-27 and 2018-06-20. "The race incorporates a mixed-terrain, undulating loop around the village of Culworth. The adults will do two laps to complete the full 5M race while children and those preferring a shorter run will do one lap totalling 2.5M."

"Venue is the Lydiard County Park." "The first couple of miles are along cycle paths and pavements, joining up  to the final section of the Swindon Ultra Trail 50K [which is on the same day]. Along the way, the race takes in  Mannington Recreation Ground, Shaw Forest Park and Moulden Hill Country Park." "The course is pretty flat. And not overly technical.

"Venue is the Caldicott School, Crown Lane, Farnham Royal." "Start times: 0915:Half, 0930:10K." "There's a choice of two distances, both on a mix of closed roads and hard-surfaced woodland paths through the cool shade of the Burnham Beeches ancient woodland in South Bucks. Its the perfect setting for a summer half marathon or 10K. 2022 is the 42nd running of this iconic event, and we are again running it backwards! We arent asking you to actually run backwards, but you are welcome to give it a try! Its the course which is being reversed, which means the long hill climb near the end of each lap of the half is a descent near the start of each lap." "Although the roads are closed we cannot guarantee the route will be traffic free."

10K
"Collect race number on the day." "Race HQ is in the Beer Garden, George Pub, High Street." "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." "Technical T-shirt, medal."

CANCELLED
This web page says the event has been cancelled. "Get ready to run through some of the best countryside Buckinghamshire has to offer. Wonder at the architectural marvel that is the Golden Ball high on the hill overlooking West Wycombe. Be amazed by the chance to run through the grounds of West Wycombe Park. Run down (and up) tall hedged country lanes listening out for the birds in the hedgerows - and the kites circling above you! Feel the triumph of conquering the 'undulations' as you race down through green fields back into the West Wycombe Estate and finish at Wycombe Wanderers stadium."

Hornton Classic 6
6M

OXONGPCANCELLED
This web page says the event has been cancelled. "This race is 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. In previous years, drinks and refreshments were available after the race together with a 'Bring your own Burger' BBQ.

EMGP
One of the East Midlands Grand Prix (EMGP) series of weekday races during May, June and July that are taking place at Silverstone, Banbury, Blisworth, Harborough, Weedon, Corby, Milton Keynes and Rugby. The EMGP web page says "entries for each race and for the series will be via runbritain - they close at 2359 two days before each race and on May 15th for the series - it also says you get a discount if you enter the series". Here is a link to enter the Series.
For 2021, the Milton Keynes 10K used a different course and venue -  it started/finished near to Willen Lake. This course and venue was also being used for the 2022 race. My guess is that this will also be the case for 2023.

As it loops back up the second major climb toward Clapton, the wondrous views continue, with the race eventually taking runners back into Bourton." "Chip timing." "The race is part of Gloucestershire AAA 2023 Road Racing Series and incorporates the Gloucestershire County Half Marathon championships." "Recycled, bio-degradable seed medal and priority entry to the 2024 Bourton 10K. "We are also hosting a 1.5M fun run, which will take place while the half marathon competitors are running.

Otmoor Challenge
half marathon

"Collect race number and chip on the day." "Venue is the Millennium Village Hall, Straight Mile." "Start time:1000."  For the first time, the race has a UKA licence. "The route consists of 6M of quiet country roads and just over 7Ms 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'". "The good news is that the first 11M 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 11M 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." "Chip timing." "The first 350 finishers are awarded a medal." There will not be a fete but "the WI will be providing refreshments with cakes, tea and soft drinks". "There are also 5M and Half Marathon walks."

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."

This Facebook post on May 22nd says the 10K is "sold out". "The race starts and finishes in the Market Place." "The race climbs gently for the first 3K and this is followed by a short descent. It is then flat for the rest of the  course. Due to ongoing ground works in the private estate, a section of the regular course between 2K and 5K has been re-routed for 2023. The replacement section will take place on footpaths (some of which are uneven, so extra care should be taken) and the Kennet and Avon Canal towpath. Approximately 6K is on the road, with the remainder of the run taking place on footpaths and along the canal towpath." "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."

Dymock Half Marathon and 5M
half marathon, 5M

,
"Early bird offer for the first 50 entries for each race". "Race HQ is at the Dymock Cricket Club, The Pound." "Start time for both races:0900."  "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." "M markers." "Chip timing." "Medal."

"Venue is the Bredon Cricket Club, Hill Close." "The route of this trail run follows pretty country lanes, tracks and paths to the 299m summit of Bredon Hill. The hilltop is marked by an Iron Age fort and the 18th-century Parson's Folly tower, and it boasts glorious views of the surrounding countryside." "It is a challenging run, with steep gradients on both the uphill and downhill stretches. The terrain encompasses metalled lanes, stony tracks, and paths through fields and woods that may be muddy. But this is a fun event, and you should enjoy it. Go at your own pace even if that means walking." In a previous year, the race was not timed. "Medal." "After the run, participants and their friends and families can enjoy musical entertainment and a barbecue at the cricket club, where the fully licensed bar will be open."

EMGP
One of the East Midlands Grand Prix (EMGP) series of weekday races during May, June and July that are taking place at Silverstone, Banbury, Blisworth, Harborough, Weedon, Corby, Milton Keynes and Rugby. The EMGP web page says "entries for each race and for the series will be via runbritain - they close at 2359 two days before each race and on May 15th for the series - it also says you get a discount if you enter the series". Here is a link to enter the Series.
"Race HQ and car park for the Banbury 5 is at Banbury Academy, Ruskin Road." "The start is in  Browning Road which is in a housing estate off Bloxham Road." "Undulating 5M road race." "M markers."
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)'.

"Both routes start with a short on-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." "There will be a BBQ, licenced bar, fresh coffee, sweets, candy floss and lots of fun activities for under 5s."

In 2022 this event had an ARC permit
"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." "From 2006 until 2019 the race was named after a young athlete and villager called Ollie Johnson." "There are also Junior races." 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'.
This race is one of the Run West Berks Series of races taking place at Chieveley on Apr 29th, Kintbury on May 21st, Hungerford on Jun 18th (cancelled) and Inkpen on Jun 25th.

Gaddesden Gallop
10K, 5K
"Venue is the Village Sports Ground." "Start time:1100."  "Fantastic cross country 10K and 5K runs across the Hertfordshire countryside." Here are links to some maps but I don't know how accurate they are: map and map. I think the purple route is the 10K and the red route is the 5K that were used in 2022. "There are also mini under 12 races." 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'.

This race will challenge the novice runner with some 'stinger' hills but will reward you with stunning views as you run through woods and farmland. Experienced runners will enjoy the ups and downs!" "The race will start a short walk from the school's walled garden, heading out along a paved track before joining a wooded bridleway.

Note, it is a challenging route for wheelchairs but you can bring assistance to get around."

Firkin 5 Mile Run
5M
This is just a guess at the date. Please e-mail me if you see any information on the web about this event. "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.

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 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."

Banbury 15
15M

"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 are also 1M and 2M Fun Runs within the Park."

"Collect race number and chip on the day." The race planned for Jan 7th has been postponed to Mar 18th. "Venue is the Devizes Sports Club, London Road." "Setting out from Quakers Walk near the Kennet and Avon Canal, the route is mostly off-road, a mix of undulating and hilly terrain with breathtaking views and dominated by the climb up Roundway Hill. From there the route winds itself around the top of the hill before dropping down Heddington Steps. You will then run around the bottom of Beacon Hill and up through the gulley back to the top of Roundway Hill again, adjacent to Olivers Camp. From there the route will follow a short technical section through the woods before dropping down off road under the pylons and back to Quakers Walk. Once you have exited Quakers Walk there will be a short stretch of canal towpath before turning into the Sports Club where the finish is on the cricket pitch." "Chip timing."

The 5K is out and back; the 10K is 1 lap plus an out and back and the Half is 2 laps and an out and back."

Goring 10K
10K
"Collect race number and chip on the day." "Venue is the Bourdillon Field behind Goring Primary School." 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. "Closed roads." "Chip timing."

"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!

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'.

Roundway Revenge - POSTPONED
8M
WORLPOSTPONED
I understand that this race has been postponed. "Collect race number and chip on the day." Although this Facebook post has Nov 19th, the organiser's web page say Jan 7th. "Venue is the Devizes Sports Club, London Road." "Setting out from Quakers Walk near the Kennet and Avon Canal, the route is mostly off-road, a mix of undulating and hilly terrain with breathtaking views and dominated by the climb up Roundway Hill. From there the route winds itself around the top of the hill before dropping down Heddington Steps. You will then run around the bottom of Beacon Hill and up through the gulley back to the top of Roundway Hill again, adjacent to Olivers Camp. From there the route will follow a short technical section through the woods before dropping down off road under the pylons and back to Quakers Walk. Once you have exited Quakers Walk there will be a short stretch of canal towpath before turning into the Sports Club where the finish is on the cricket pitch." "Chip timing."

Gibbet Hangover
10M, 5.5M
This is the date that is given at gibbetchallenge.net where it says "please 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.
