The Oundle 20 Mile Road Race takes place in the historic market town of Oundle, offering 20-mile, 10K, and 5K road races on the same day. The 20-mile race is the main event: a single-loop course on quiet country roads, intended for runners training for spring marathons. The 10K and 5K races follow lap-based routes, suitable for those seeking a less competitive run.
The 20-mile route travels through the Northamptonshire countryside, passing local villages with consistent gradients rather than a flat profile. The roads are signposted and marshalled, but some sections remain open, requiring runners to be aware of traffic. All finishers get a unique medal, race photos are available at no cost, and awards are given to the top finishers.
