Each runner has to predict their finishing time to get around the 4.4 mile course and there is no watches allowed.

Rules: If you are a second over your predicted time you are out and the person who is the most under their predicted time is awarded the infamous Wooden Spoon award.

It’s voting time! There’s an important one on Thursday, but here at WRR HQ we need your help to solve a ‘debate’

Which of our two fabulous races does the running community love more?!

🦆 Are you a fan of the fast, flat 5km at the edge of Ducklington? Our new duck on the block - The Duck Dash.

🏃🏻‍♀️ Or are you more of a Classic runner? The established, ‘fundulating’ 10miler with the fab swag (shirt & beer!) waiting for you at the end after you’ve conquered Hillzakilla in the middle - The Cotswold Classic.

We can’t choose between them so it’s time to put your X in the box and choose.

Comment below with a 🦆 or a 🏃🏻‍♀️ for your favourite and tell us why!

Share to increase the sample size and improve the validity of our very official study! 🤓
