May. No... will.

Might just plod the Henley Half myself now that Windsor's been cancelled.

I'd missed that bit of news. I think Henley may be filling up faster than usual as a result.

It's a bit hilly, is it not?

It's the neighbouring Marlow event that's the real bugger. I'm not sure of Henley, as last year I gave up and went home after getting stuck in a traffic jam (hint: don't enter Henley via the bridge).

From Runner's World: Beautiful countryside, riverside stretches and just one hill of note make this a popular multi-terrain fixture among runners of all abilities

From the event website: The route commences at the Henley Rugby Club and then proceeds into Henley, south over the Bridge, taking the road to Remenham, and at Aston Ferry, and back along the banks of the River Thames, crossing Henley Bridge before heading out down the Marlow Road, past the Rugby Club, through the grounds of Fawley Court, before heading uphill towards Fawley, after which the run winds through the Chiltern Hills before coming down onto the Fairmile (the A4130) and back into Henley for the finish at the Rugby Club.

So some towpath action there for sure, but I'm a little concerned by the phrase "winds through the Chiltern Hills"...
