Goring is *down*stream from Oxford... But yes I have run that stretch. I did the Thames Trot (Oxford to Henley) last year and recce'd the whole route beforehand. The signage is generally good but not "unmissable" good. There are a few spots where you leave the river or have to cross over etc without it being immediately obvious. I found it reassuring to know the route on the day but would have probably not gotten lost on the section you are describing in the light (as opposed to the bit through Shiplake in the dark).
It's obviously a pretty flat route, with the only real hill to be found between Goring and Pangbourne. I found the National Trail website pretty useful.

@speculoos
thinking of running a 55km stretch of the Thames Path to Oxford from somewhere (either Goring or wherever’s 55k upstream from Oxford) in June as training for Race to the Stones in July.
Has anyone run/walked any of the path in that area? Is the signage good enough to not need to use a map/gps too often? Any good lunch spots along the way? Plan to run it on a sunny Saturday so we can jump in to cool off at regular intervals..
Thanks!
