This is the second time I’ve completed this run, although its fairly tough, the course is across beautiful countryside, its very well organised, very friendly and the mulled wine and mince pie at the end were very welcome! Fancy dress although optional creates a fun atmosphere. Great way to start the Christmas break. Oh nearly forgot, the half way water station also had mulled wine!

This was the first time that I had entered this race. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely sign up next year. The marshals were all fantastic and very supportive, so thank you!

The 2nd time I've run this 'race' and it was great fun. The great majority of participents were in fancy dress, many local clubs running together at a cocial pace so hard not to laugh at groups of frogs, xmas puds and even a couple of convicts handcuffed together. The course was quite challenging with small hills and loads of mud but well marshalled with warning given of p[ossible hazzards. Free, quality, photos courtesy of Barry at oxonraces.com . Results up within 24 hours. Mulled wine and mince pies for all at the finish. Prizes for all sorts of fancy dress categories and teams. Highly recomended but do entery early as this even sells out pretty quick!

Have run every Christmas Canter and love the event. Different every year depending on weather but always challenging. Hook Norton Harriers are a small, friendly club and are always great hosts.

I enjoyed the event so much last year I've entered again! 

Venue easy to find, no problems with parking.  Registering took seconds, nice warm clubhouse to hide before the start (and we needed it on the day).

Course was made even harder with the effects of the snow the week before - icy and muddy, and it started to rain just before our 11am start!  I felt sorry for the poor marshalls - but they were all very cheery and encouraging, so a huge thanks to them.

Love the mid way water/hot choc/mulled wine station, and fellow runners encouragements along the way.  Also loved the very relaxed atmosphere.  The mince pie and mulled wine were very welcomed at the end.

I love this event, but don't want to advertise it too much in case it gets full quickly and I can't get in next year... oh and be prepared to go crazy and wear fancy dress, you will look out of place if you don't.

My first time doing this race, and I thought it was marvellous. A friendly bunch of people to run with. The marshalls were great - well done to them for standing in the rain. Good after-race facilities, particularly the delicious mince pies and mulled wine. Lovely countryside to run around too. All in all, a nice little event!

There was nothing not to like about this race. Especial shout-out to the marshalls though - the weather was horrible, rain, freezing cold, muddy, icy. All of them were helpful, friendly and smiling the whole time and they should get the recognition they deserve! Mulled wine, tea and mince pies at the end were a wonderful touch. I will definitley put this one in the calendar every year!
