Banbury 15 - change to schedule .... We have traditionally held the Paul Bithell Memorial fun runs in the park whilst the main 15 mile race is underway. However, there is now an established junior parkrun every Sunday in the park and we do not feel it is sensible to operate the fun runs and parkrun on the same day. The parkrun is an excellent, well attended event so, in consultation with the management of junior parkrun, we have decided not to operate our fun runs this year. We would encourage all juniors (ages 4-14) to take part in the parkrun, which will operate a standard at 9 am in Spiceball Park.

Finally, we would ask participants in the 15 mile race to be courteous to the junior parkrunners and avoid warming up on their course. The parkrun event should be finished by around 9.30am.

2023 race report: Congratulations to all 188 who started, and finished, the race. The men's race winner was Matthew Lock (Witney R R) in 1.24.08. The ladies race winner was Leonie Glasson (Headington R R) in1.44.43.
