THE
OTMOOR CHALLENGE
HALF
MARATHON COMPETITIVE RUN
FACT SHEET FOR RUNNERS
The course
is set around the roads, tracks and footpaths of Otmoor, an area
of outstanding beauty. Situated just seven miles from the centres
of Oxford and Bicester, Otmoor enjoys unique flora and fauna and
a long history dating back to Roman Britain. While some runners
may be oblivious to these surroundings, the event attracts serious
athletes from all over England as the name of Otmoor is well known
throughout Britain. The Challenge starts and finishes on the playing
field at Horton-cum-Studley where a traditional Village Fete is
an added attraction for friends, family and your supporters while
you are on the Run. There is ample free parking.
The course is clearly marked in miles and drinking points are
at all checkpoints. First Aid and ambulances are on the playing
field and around the course itself Refreshments will be available
on the field from 10.30 a.m. We award a 2010 mug to the first
350 runners home. The rest of the field will be awarded a Tracksuit
Badge.
