Thames Trot
Thames Trot or maybe the Boat Race 7 February 2009 Introduction
Using the banks and towpaths of England's largest river as well as footpaths and bridleways we have created an Ultra distance course that will always keep you interested. If you think in any way this is flat and featureless think again. Starting in Oxford the run follows the course of the Thames to that other great rowing venue, Henley where we finish on the green at the band stage. "In designing these races I have tried to include as much of the elements that have given me pleasure when running Ultras and minimise the things I have found less" - the organiser. Go Beyond
