Archived material from the AP20 which was a Banbury Harriers event and run from about 1979 to 1989
It was called AP20 beacuse it was the race between Automotive Products factories in Leamington and Banbury and was sponsored by that company. It had to close when the M40 was built cutting through the route.
Nigel Braggins running the last AP20 in 1989 He recorded 1.59.27 over a hilly route, which, if the wind was against you it was there all the way I ran it the same year (end of November) & still remember the cold. Course map.
