Hook Norton Brewery is proud to announce its support for the 40th anniversary of the Hooky 6-Mile Road Race, taking place on Saturday 2 August, with the race starting at 10.00am.
First held in 1986 by a handful of pioneering members of Hook Norton Harriers, the iconic two-lap race has become a firm favourite in the local running calendar. The scenic but challenging course winds through the beautiful, undulating lanes surrounding Hook Norton, starting and finishing at the Hook Norton Sports and Social Club, The Bourne, Hook Norton.
Organised by Hook Norton Harriers Running Club, the race forms part of the prestigious Oxfordshire Grand Prix Series, attracting runners from across the county and beyond.
Known for its friendly atmosphere and picturesque setting, the Hooky 6 welcomes runners of all abilities. After crossing the finish line, participants and supporters can relax and enjoy the facilities at the Sports and Social Club.
To mark the race's 40th anniversary, every finisher will receive a specially designed commemorative T-shirt celebrating the occasion, featuring Hook Norton Brewery and other iconic Hooky landmarks. There will also be a range of brewery-themed prizes up for grabs as well as a beer discount code for all entries to use on the Hook Norton Brewery website.
Entry costs £18 (£16 for affiliated runners). Entries close on 19 July, although the race has sold out in advance in recent years, so prospective runners are encouraged to enter early as entries on the day may not be available.
