* 2020 RACE CANCELLED *

In line with the updated Coronavirus guidance issued by the government on the 16th March we have regrettably taken the decision to cancel the 2020 White Horse Half Marathon.

We will be contacting all entrants by e-mail. We ask for your patience while we work through the implications of cancelling and we will give further details then.

The 2020 RACE IS NOW FULL

*** ENTRIES ARE CLOSED ***

The 2020 race is both an Oxfordshire County Championship and is part of the Oxfordshire Grand Prix series.

Starting from Grove the course follows quiet country lanes through the villages of Denchworth, Lyford and Charney Bassett. The race is chip timed and starts at 09:30. The format and course of the race remains unchanged from recent years. The White Horse Half Marathon has been voted one of the top 10 races for PB potential on the Runners World website.

We Acknowledge Support for this Race from

Revolution Sports Injuries Clinic

Local Specialists in Sports Therapy and Physiotherapy

Wild Wicket Sports Shop

Local Shop for all things sporting (including running).

We also wish to thank Standbrook Guides for permission to make use of their maps.

In the recent past we have donated a share of the profits from this race to local charities. We are now working with a local school on plans to install and upgrade athletics facilities which our athletes will be able to make use of. We have made a conscious decision not to nominate a local charity this year but to put funds raised by the 2020 race towards these facilities (as was also done for the 2019 race).

Volunteers

We are always looking for lots of volunteers to help with marshalling and other duties at this race. No experience necessary. All offers of help were gratefully accepted.
