| Goring 10K
10K
| OXONCC OXONGP | "Collect race number and chip on the day." "Race HQ is on the Bourdillon Field behind Goring Primary School." "Starts at Storton Lodge and finishes at the Bourdillon Field." "Closed roads." "Chip timing." "Eco board medal." A small section of the route of the race is the same as that of the Woodcote 10K.
Here are my notes about the race from when I did it in 2011: 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 then run pass the start to do a few meanderings around a housing estate before finishing on the 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 confusing. So the last 0.5K are worth checking out when you are warming up - have a look at the bit from the START to the FINISH shown on the course map. |

| Lions Club of Winslow 10K Road Race
10K
| | "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 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! |
