Event
The Goring 10K is a road race of 10 km held at Storton Lodge, Icknield Road, Goring, Oxfordshire (RG8 0DL). The course begins with a steady incline for the first 1.0 km as it moves into the surrounding countryside. The event is the main fundraiser for the local primary school. Chip-timing is used, but official results and prizes are based on gun time. Competitors are required to line up at the start in anticipated finishing times for fair prize allocation.
Logistics and facilities
Race numbers and timing chips are collected at Bourdillon Field behind Goring Primary School and on-the-day registration is available if slots remain. There is a single water station approximately at the halfway point in South Stoke and a further station at the finish. Toilets are at the race start, the primary school, and the main village car park. All runners receive an eco medal and a flapjack; additional hot food and drinks are sold on the Bourdillon Field with proceeds to the school. Bags may be left at Storton Lodge where a marshal will be present, but items are left at the owner’s risk. First aid cover is provided by Trailmed from start to finish. Rail access is via Goring Station, about a 10 minute walk along Wallingford Road. Parking is recommended at the station and the village centre car park.
