Course:

 
This year the course is approximately 5 miles, from the start, turn left at bottom of the track, follow the track keeping left unless told by a marshal. Bear right to go to the bottom of the park where you will be directed in to the woods. Keep to the edge with the wall on your left hand side. We will have chalk spray on the path. You will go round Littlemore 1 and a half times. Leave the park via the wooden bridge, then go into the field, at the bottom you will be directed through the gate and turn left up the track towards the farm at the top of track. Go through gate near the end of field, you will be directed right over stile to a gate which will be open. Down the dip to a tricky stream crossing, over a wooden bridge up a narrow path to the next marshal, turn right. Follow the path to the gate, use the stile, continue to follow the track to the road. Turn left for about 200 to 300 metres to where the road bends right, turn left here and over the cattle grid, there is a short track to a stile on your left. From here, follow the field straight down, bear right at the top, there will be netting in place to the metal posts. Turn right, follow the track then through metal posts again to the bottom of the field, bear left here and cross diagonal across field to metal posts. Up a tarmac track to the top, there will be a football field to your left and houses to the right. Bear left through woods on the main track, at the top double back down stocks Lane to the bottom, bear right up past more metal posts to the top, cross a short track into a field through a stile.Turn immediately right and follow field all the way round to the stile (keep the wall on your right), through 3 stiles, and back out of the gate, take your first right and follow the road for around 400 metres, turn left through a stile and diagonal across the field towards the farm. At the top of the field go through stile left up the track and then bear right past houses on your left, at the top turn left down a track, keep right to the bottom to a gate which will not be open., turn left same way through woods as the start and complete almost a full lap following the line of the woods (wall on your left), finally turn left up the track to where you started and the finish line. 
There will be plenty of marshals, it should be a fast start as the paths narrow in the woods.
Looking forward to seeing you all again.
