ALL ENTRIES FOR THIS EVENT HAVE NOW SOLD OUT.
The Original Oxfordshire event holds a special place in all our hearts and is back for another year after becoming a treasured member of our event calendar back in 2017.
Our Original series season finale sets off three brand new trail running routes from the 850-years old Manor House of Stonor Park. The estate is home to one of the most ancient deer herds in Britain, so keep your eyes peeled for the graceful fallow deer that have grazed here since medieval times. Out on the trails if you’re lucky you may also spot the rare red kite, which have successfully been saved from national extinction in the area.
All three routes weave through the estate and surrounding Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. However it’s not all a blissful fairy-tale or a chance to spot rare wildlife, there are some ferocious trails to negotiate, with climbs and descents reaching gradients of 22% in parts. You’ll need your head firmly focused on the task ahead to get through some parts of this event. Please note, there is no outpost on the Short route.
With three routes on offer, our Original Oxfordshire event ensures that trail runners of abilities will be challenged and we are sure that saying ‘I do’ to this event is something you won’t regret.

What you get
How it Works
As a guide you should always:
• Follow the on course signage
• Listen to on course marshals
• Take care when crossing roads
• Be considerate to others
• Please close all gates, DO NOT litter!
OUTPOSTS
There will be no outpost on the short route. There will be 1 outpost on the Middle route (approx 7km) and 2 outposts on the Long route (approx 7km & 14.5km). The outposts are designed to act as a top up for what you are already carrying. There will be a range of sweet & savoury snacks (fruit, cake, crisps) as well as Precision Hydration fuel & electrolyte.
There will not be pre-filled water cups available at the outpost. Please have your re-useable cup or bottle ready when you arrive and make use of our self-serve water barrels.
Please note, there are no toilets along the run route. There will only be toilets available within the start/finish area.
PLASTIC FREE
In our quest to make this season plastic-free, we ask that you run with a reusable cup or bottle. Hydrapak Speed Cups are available to purchase at each event and online.
HEADPHONES
We strongly recommend not wearing headphones at this event.
CUT-OFFS
Although we do not have strict cut-offs as such, we do appreciate if all runners (regardless of distance) are finished by 2pm. This equates to a finish time of 4hrs.
This helps to ease the pressure on our marshals, so that they are not stood outside for long periods of time.
