Oxford Running Events

The Cotswold Classic is a firmly established event in the local running calendar and is once again part of the Oxfordshire County 10 Mile Road Race Championship.

Its a relatively hilly/undulating course with one particularly long climb known locally as the hillzakilla (total elevation gain is 518ft). There is, however, a very fast finish with the last mile and a half being more or less downhill from New Yatt.

All advance-booking finishers will receive a long-sleeve technical shirt. We also expect them to be available for most on the day entries but cant guarantee it simply because we dont know how many runners will turn up (and we prefer profits to go into next years race or to our charity rather than down the plughole) so best to enter in advance.
