OXFORD MAIL CROSS COUNTRY LEAGUE
ORGANISERS have hailed the league’s return to Wittenham Clumps after more than ten years as a success, despite the cold and wet weather.
Sunday’s final round took place with the support of the Earth Trust Centre, which is based at the Clumps and hosted the prizegiving afterwards.
Oxford Mail League manager Luke McNeill said: “Winning times were very impressive, quicker than expected given the weather circumstances.
“The Earth Trust was incredibly helpful at all stages of the organisation and on race day – I received many compliments about the venue and the facilities.”
Competitor Lawrence Pacey (Abingdon Amblers) said: “The selection of the course was fantastic.
“Special thanks to both the organisers and the Earth Trust for allowing so many runners to have access to their land and for selecting a course that was challenging and also scenic.”
