Get an insight into what went on 'Behind the Wire' at Oxfordshire's most formidable Cold War Airbase.

Set in the beautiful Cherwell Valley countryside, the three routes all utilise the base's runway, RAF taxiway and NATO taxiway and are therefore pancake flat, traffic-free and pretty much PB guaranteed!

Something for the whole family and a safe environment for spectators with refreshments and plenty of history around you!

Choose from either the sprint or standard distance:

Sprint distance: 5km run; 20km cycle; 2.5km run
