ORGANISER’S DESCRIPTION
Set in beautiful Oxfordshire countryside and with chip-timing, closed roads and now legendary Pierreponts flapjack, the Goring 10k is widely regarded as one of the most enjoyable 10k races in the UK.
A stunning one lap course on a mixture of road and trail with hills and beautiful views. It is a great pre-cursor to a spring half or full marathon. UK Athletics accredited course.
Not-for-profit race with all proceeds going to Goring Primary School.
The Goring 10k course starts outside Storton Lodge, the local Scout Centre in the north of the village. It climbs steadily up into the Oxfordshire countryside on quiet country lanes before turning west down Grove Road to cross over Wallingford Road. The route then traverses Hildred’s Field (trail).
You then follow the Ridgeway footpath (trail) that runs parallel to the River Thames, rejoining the road through South Stoke Village, where our water station is situated, before rising and falling to the lonely crossroads. Here the course heads south, climbing to the highest point of the course along Icknield Road and then falls all the way to the finish at the Bourdillon Field, behind Goring Primary School.
