Welcome to the second annual Oxford Town v Gown race!
Organised by OUOC, this will be an exciting competition between OUOC and TVOC + friends of both clubs, though all are welcome!
Assembly and finish will be at St Anne's College, with the start in University Parks. Starts 10.00-12.00 at one minute intervals. The course is ~5-6km optimal route.
When asked for what team you are competing for, you have a choice between "Town", "Gown" and "N/A". All are welcome at the event but if you are not a member of TVOC/OUOC, do not live in the Oxfordshire area, or were not specifically invited then please select your team as N/A!
To keep the area fresh, a few artificial barriers will be deployed to the course area. There is one novel barrier which is sure to challenge everyone's route planning skills - keep an eye out for the final details to find out more!
Due to safeguarding restrictions on university events, this event is for ages 18+ only. If you are planning to bring under 18s they MUST be accompanied AT ALL TIMES both on and off course.
