Heyford Air Base Half Marathon, 10k & 5k & Junior Race

Upper Heyford, Bicester, Oxfordshire

Heyford Park, Upper Heyford, Bicester, Oxfordshire. OX25 5HD

Sun 16th June 2019

Starting at 11:00

Organiser's Description

Set in the beautiful Cherwell Valley countryside, the routes all utilise the base's Runway, RAF taxiway and NATO taxiway and are therefore pancake flat, traffic-free and pretty much PB guaranteed!

As well as a Junior race, you can choose between the 5k, 10k or Half Marathon - all equally good for those venturing into racing, moving up a distance or just trying to improve times. Something for the whole family and a safe environment for spectators with refreshments and plenty of history around you!

Good flat course but came up short. Nice small event. 2 laps, flat course. Could have done with one more water station, a portaloo on route! And my watch only registered 12.85 miles. Easy parking. Great medal.
