Goring 10K

Set in beautiful 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.

The Goring 10k is also the biggest fundraiser for our local primary school. If you would like to support the school, your donation would be very much appreciated. Click here to donate!

Non-binary entrants. In accordance with the UKA Rules for Competition Appendix 4 for ranking purposes and for the awarding of prizes, only Male and Female categories are recognised. Please refer to the UKA's Non–binary Guidance for Road Race Organisers.

All our results are based on gun time (as recommended by UKA) rather than chip time. So if you are looking for an age category prize, please do head up to the start line to stand the best chance of gaining a prize. 

09:00 - On-the-Day Registration
You will need to collect your race number and timing chip from the Bourdillon Field behind Goring Primary School on the day of the Race from 9.00 a.m.

When you go to collect your number please make sure you leave enough time to fill out the important medical and emergency contact details on the reverse.

There will be slots left for runners to enter on the day. If so, then On-the-Day Registration will be open at 9.00 a.m at the Registration tent on Bourdillion Field.

11:00 - Race Start
The race will start at Storton Lodge, Goring, at 11:00am. Note that the first 1.0 kms is a steady incline up into the countryside. To be fair to all, competitors will be required to line up at the start in anticipated finishing times. For more information, refer to The Start details on the The Race page.

12:15 - Prize Giving
The Prize Giving will be held on the Bourdillon Field, where the race finishes, as close to 12:15pm as possible. For competitors and their families wishing to take in the delights of the village after the race, there are several local pubs and restaurants in the village that offer good food and a convivial atmosphere. You may want to book lunch in advance as they are particularly popular on race day.

12:30 - Cut Off Time
Runners must complete the course in 90 minutes. We rely on 100s of generous volunteers to ensure a successful event and for many, the hard work starts after the race as the clearing up begins.

TOILETS

Toilets will be available at:

- the race start at Storton Lodge
- the Primary School
- the main village car park

REFRESHMENTS

There will be one water station en route, located at approximately the halfway mark in South Stoke, and a further station at the finish. All runners receive an eco medal and a flapjack. In addition, there will be hot dogs, burgers, hot drinks and other refreshments for sale, with all proceeds going to the school at the Bourdillon Field.

BAGS

These can be left at Storton Lodge, immediately next to the race start. There will be a marshall present at the lodge during the race, however items left will be done so entirely at the owner’s risk and the Goring 10k and its organisers take no responsibility for loss or damage of any kind.

FIRST AID

Trailmed will be providing this year's first aid from start to finish, as well as support on site at the Bourdillon Field.
