Thursday, 8 August 2013

RACE DATES!
We will be holding the inaugural WATLINGTON SKYLINE 10 MILE run on SUNDAY 27th OCTOBER starting at 11.00 at the Sports Pavillion. It's a beautiful run climbing steeply up into the Chilterns then holding the line of the ridge before finally swooping back down to the Ridgeway and back to the finish. Also our WINTER 10K will be held on SUNDAY 1st DECEMBER at 10.30 from the Pavillion. Both events can be found online at RUNNERSWORLD. Look forward to seeing you there!

Hi, I am interested in having a go at this. I did Trail Half Wales in June as my first ever off road event and would like to do more and get better at it. Not too good at navigating though. Is it fairly straightforward?
Many thanks

Welcome to the Watlington Xc 10k Events Blog

Famously known as "the best hill run in the South", the Watlington XC 10k has established itself as a popular cross country run and is now in it's 7th year. The run takes in a beautiful section of the ancient Ridgeway trail before heading steeply up into the wooded Chiltern Hills. A steep descent down Shirburn Hill with stunning views of the Oxfordshire plain leads to a fast track through Beech woods followed by another steep (and we do mean steep) ascent of Watlington Hill. The final section down the hill is the runners favourite and careful foot placement is needed through the fast twisting singltrack back down to the Ridgeway to complete the course. The event is very relaxed and run in the true spirit of fell running, a sense of cameraderie and no chip timing!
Next run will be held on July 15th 2018!
