South Park
Cross Country Cuppers - Alumni Race
It was cross country running that brought us all together initially. So what better way to reconvene than a free, alumni cross country race in Oxford’s beautiful South Park as part of Cross Country Cuppers.
Race details:
- Cost: FREE.
- Distance: Approximately four miles.
- Prizes: Overall and age category.
To get to South Park, there are a variety of public transport options, including the X7 bus from the train station. If driving, nearby carparks include St Clement’s and Union Street while there are a small number of spaces at the entrance to Headington Hill Park. If not racing, the course and venue also provide great opportunities for spectating while marshals are appreciated. Both club tents will be erected, in which personal belongings can be stored and kept dry. All ages and speeds are welcome!
Post-race, there will be an opportunity to wash and change at Iffley Road Sports Centre.
