Ealing 1/2 Marathon

www.ealinghalfmarathon.com

Probably should have read Evelyn's review from 2012 - I can confirm it was unexpectedly hilly in 2021 as well, though no beer at the finish. Fewer participants (2201) this year due to CVD-19 and next weeks London marathon so no issues with overcrowding. - AD 2021

Excellent weather conditions, route with lots of turns and more hilly than expected. Too many runners for the width of the course, and terrible waste by handing out 33cl evian bottles of water after each 3 miles. Can of London Pride at the finish was a nice touch - EE 2012.

Goring 10k

www.goring10k.co.uk

It was hilly, cold, windy and wet. Free hot drink for runners. Bit cramped hiding from the weather in the scout hut , but plenty of bacon sandwiches, soup and other refreshments available - VB 2010.

The course is "ok". The first few k is an upward climb out of the river valley, then it's a few k on flat (and very exposed on a cold day!) countryside before a few k back down again. It's a handy, local event and the roads are well organised but changing is cramped, there's nowhere decent to leave a bag, the showers were switched off, very long queues for the loos and nowhere to get a hot drink which everyone was desperate for on a freezing day - PD 2008.

Henley Half Marathon and 10k

(1/2M) Conditions were good, the hill was hard, and now I have sore legs - VB 2021

(10k) Very pretty course with long gradient in first half, then very steep descent, finishing flat along Fairmile. Start/Finish at Henley Hawks Rugby Club, with large, warm clubhouse, tea/coffee, bacon baps and plenty of toilets.. Good event, well marshalled and supported - and reasonably priced. - CL 2014

The running group can trace its origins back to 1974 when a group from the Atmospheric Physics Department met weekly at Iffley Road cinder running track (where Roger Bannister ran the first 4-minute mile) for some general fitness training. Afterwards we used to have a drink in the local pub The Fir Tree (re-named to The Old Ale House in 1999). Over the years weight and circuit training became less popular with the participants and, since the boom in the early 1980s, running has become the sole activity (other than the post-training fluid replacement therapy sessions).

The origins of the running group are difficult to define precisely. However, the following records have been extracted from an old diary.

Wednesday 9th January 1974

Wednesday 23rd January 1974

Thursday 24th January 1974

Damn, I'll never be able to claim I was quicker than 1.49 ...

Looks good. Mind you, if i'd ever read that before I came running the
first time I would have been scared off ... it all sounds so serious. I'd
put more about the pub sessions right in the first sentence. And mention
the Angel in the first paragraph ... but then that shows my priorities.
