Cross Country Championship

2012/13 Cross Country Champions are Adrian Williams and Jo Emery.
Runners-up are Simon Campbell and Caroline Crawford.

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. 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 and up on ours soon afterwards.

There are three elements to the Championship this year. Firstly your finishing positions in the five Oxford League fixtures counting down from 20 points for the first club finisher. In addition to the Oxford League this year we are also trying to reward people who run in the Gloucester League so your best finish will also be included. Finally as well as the Gloucester League we also think it is good to encourage people to run in the Gloucester Champs. So that means you have a total of 7 possible scores and the best 5 will count. Finally if you are mad enough to do all 5 Oxford League fixtures then a further 5 bonus points will be rewarded for team effort. Hope that's clear but do let me know if you need more explanation.
