The Race

Headington RoadRunners welcome you to the Headington 5 Mile Open Road Race.

• Fast flat course with PB potential
• Suitable for all abilities - time limit 75 minutes
• Chip timing
• Online entries
• Entries on the day if limit of 300 has not been reached. Given the uncertainties over any social distancing requirements that might be in place we have reduced the number of places available this year, so get your entry in early to be sure of a place.
• No refunds, but entries can be transferred to another runner up to 27 August
• Technical T-Shirts awarded to all finishers
• Proceeds donated to OXSRAD, Oxford's integrated Sports Centre, a unique sport and recreation centre that is accessible to both the able and disabled.
• The race will be run under UKA rules.

The race is a fast 5 mile loop. It starts and finishes in Boults Lane recreation ground, approximately 400 metres from the Race HQ, and takes in the tracks on the Northern bypass and the Marston Ferry Road. It is largely free of traffic. A simple map is available here.

We are fully expecting that the race will take place on the course as planned. If the situation changes and restrictions imposed by the government mean that this is no longer possible all entries will be transferred to a “virtual” version of the race, with details provided if and when they become relevant. We regret that we will not be able to refund entries.
