The Tough One
The toughest 10k in the South Chilterns again lived up to its reputation in 2026.
Licensed by England Athletics and attracting both Club and non affiliated runners, the Woodcote 10K is something of a challenge. Just completing the undulating, meandering course, along back roads, flanked by woods and farmland, gives a real sense of achievement. It is frequently described by participants as their favourite race of the year.

The Running Algorithm is a running training app and was cofounded by last year’s runner up, Tom Epton, who is from Mortimer. Tom has used the app for every run in the past year, accumulating over 1000 miles of training with The Running Algorithm and in that time they’ve helped over 600 runners reach their goals. It allows total flexibility - if you do a club session, a social run in place of the planned session or cut a run short because you’re feeling a bit rough, your training plan will automatically adapt. The app learns your individual recovery rate and prescribes runs based on how tired you are, meaning that you get harder, longer runs when you’re fresh and easier runs when you’re tired. Entrants of the race will be able to use the app for 8 weeks completely free to help their preparation. You can sign up here with no payment details needed to get started. After you enter the race, you’ll receive a code which will allow you to access 8 weeks of use completely free. The Running Algorithm is available online, on Apple’s app store and is coming to Android very shortly.
