The
White Horse Half Marathon
takes place to the North of Grove on country lanes. It's very rural and the hotspots (!) are its visits to the villages of Denchworth, Lyford and Charney Bassett.
In years gone by, the organisers described the race as "flat and fast",
the only hill on the course being the gradual ascent/descent to the bridge over the railway line between Didcot and Swindon.
It's one of races of the 2026 Oxfordshire AA Road Race Grand Prix.
The route of the White Horse Half Marathon is shown on the following map which is available from this web page.
