Set in beautiful countryside and with chip-timing, closed roads and now legendary Pierreponts flapjack, the Goring 10k is widely regarded as one of the most enjoyable 10k races in the UK.
The Goring 10k is also the biggest fundraiser for our local primary school. If you would like to support the school, your donation would be very much appreciated. Click here to donate!

All our results are based on gun time (as recommended by UKA) rather than chip time. So if you are looking for an age category prize, please do head up to the start line to stand the best chance of gaining a prize.
09:00 - On-the-Day Registration
You will need to collect your race number and timing chip from the Bourdillon Field behind Goring Primary School on the day of the Race from 9.00 a.m.
When you go to collect your number please make sure you leave enough time to fill out the important medical and emergency contact details on the reverse.
There will be slots left for runners to enter on the day. If so, then On-the-Day Registration will be open at 9.00 a.m at the Registration tent on Bourdillion Field.
11:00 - Race Start
The race will start at Storton Lodge, Goring, at 11:00am. Note that the first 1.0 kms is a steady incline up into the countryside. To be fair to all, competitors will be required to line up at the start in anticipated finishing times. For more information, refer to The Start details on the The Race page.
12:15 - Prize Giving
The Prize Giving will be held on the Bourdillon Field, where the race finishes, as close to 12:15pm as possible. For competitors and their families wishing to take in the delights of the village after the race, there are several local pubs and restaurants in the village that offer good food and a convivial atmosphere. You may want to book lunch in advance as they are particularly popular on race day.
12:30 - Cut Off Time
Runners must complete the course in 90 minutes. We rely on 100s of generous volunteers to ensure a successful event and for many, the hard work starts after the race as the clearing up begins.
TOILETS
Toilets will be available at:
REFRESHMENTS
There will be one water station en route, located at approximately the halfway mark in South Stoke, and a further station at the finish. All runners receive an eco medal and a flapjack. In addition, there will be hot dogs, burgers, hot drinks and other refreshments for sale, with all proceeds going to the school at the Bourdillon Field.
BAGS
These can be left at Storton Lodge, immediately next to the race start. There will be a marshall present at the lodge during the race, however items left will be done so entirely at the owner’s risk and the Goring 10k and its organisers take no responsibility for loss or damage of any kind.
FIRST AID
Trailmed will be providing this year's first aid from start to finish, as well as support on site at the Bourdillon Field.
BY RAIL
One of the easiest ways on the day is to come by train to Goring Station, which is on the main westbound line from Paddington. If coming from further afield than Reading or Oxford, you will need to change to a local service at either of these stations. From the station it is a 10 minute walk along the Wallingford Road to Goring Primary school. The route from the station will be clearly signposted, and there will be marshalls in hi-viz jackets to help anyone who needs assistance.
BY ROAD
From the M4
Exit at junction 12 on the M4 and follow signs to Pangbourne. At the mini roundabout in Pangbourne go straight on towards Streatley. At the traffic lights in Streatley turn right and follow the road down and over the river into Goring.
From the M40
Exit at junction 6 and follow signs to Watlington. At the T junction in Watlington turn right towards Benson. In Benson turn right at the T junction and then after 200 metres bear off left towards Wallingford. Go straight over the Crowmarsh roundabout towards Reading. Go straight across the next roundabout, then bear off right to Goring on the B4009.
PARKING
We recommend parking at the Station and the village centre car park.
