Road Running

We organise 2 successful Road Races each year: The Banbury Run in March incorporates a 15 mile, 2 mile and 1 mile races. The Banbury 5 (miles) in June is part of the East Midland Grand Prix Series.

Race series

The Motavation Series consists of 5 road races, all of which are approximately 4 miles. These are held on the first Thursday of every month throughout the summer beginning in May and taking place at various venues in Oxfordshire.

The East Midlands Grand Prix Series consists of 8 summer evening road races ranging from 5 miles to 10k. Despite its name, most of the races are in Northants and surrounding counties including our own Banbury 5-mile race in June.
The Oxfordshire Grand Prix Series consists of 13 races within the county covering a range of distances from 5K to the Marathon throughout the year, including the challenging Banbury 15 in March.

The Banbury Run

The Banbury Run which is held every year in March, consists of three separate events that regularly attracts 800 runners taking part in either the 15 mile road race, the two mile fun-run or the one mile junior fun-run. The 15-mile race is the opening event in the Oxfordshire Grand Prix Series.

Banbury 5 mile race

Taking place in June, the Banbury 5 is a scenic one-lap course and is part of the East Midlands Grand Prix Series.
