Road Championship Cross Country Championship Current Club Records Road Championship Every year there is a road running championship. In 2010 this is made up of 12 races, one of which can be any marathon. The men’s and women’s championship is separate. Current champions are Adrian Williams for the men and Alice Thomas for the women. Cross Country Championship The club’s main focus is once again on the Oxford League. This constitutes five races always held on the first Sunday of each month. For newer members – there are lots – this league is very much a team affair. There is no entry fee payable – the club pays a fee covering the whole season – and you do not need to enter in advance. Just turn up on the day with club vest and usually £2 or £3 for parking, then race. In the men’s race each team comprises seven runners and in the women it is three to score. In both cases the more that run the better as the club can then finish A, B, C, D teams etc. The courses are usually muddy but great fun and there is always a really good atmosphere. Full results are always published on the league website http://www.oxonxc.org/ by the evening of race day. Last year for the first time the Men won the overall title. This championship is simply calculated from club finishing positions in the five Oxford League fixtures counting down from 30 points for the first club finisher (15 points for women). There are no bonus points available. The men’s title was won by Adrian Williams and Alice Thomas won the women’s title. Multi-Terrain Championship Following the recent questionnaire answers we have decided to monitor the following series of multi-terrain races to see if there is sufficient demand to justify a club championship in 2011. If you are a supporter of this type of race we suggest you enter as many of these as you can.
