OSS March 2017 (Central Oxford)

The next OSS event of 2017 will be around the City Centre and has been planned by Neville Baker.

Event Centre

The event centre will be the University Club on Mansfield Road, OX1 3SZ. Due to its central location it has no parking, though there is metered on-street parking on Mansfield Road and others nearby. Please come on foot, by bicycle or by public transport (including Park & Ride) if possible.

Race Format

60 minute score (visit as many controls as you can and return within 60 minutes). Remember to bring a watch and a pen! Start times are between 6.30pm and 8pm, starting whenever you’re ready. See About Street-O a more detailed description.

Terrain

Largely tarmac roads and paths with no significant hills. Some of the centre is pedestrianised and most other roads have a 20mph limit. Nevertheless the traffic is busy in places and you must take care crossing all roads. A head torch may be useful as there are some unlit paths.

Social

If you can, please stay after you have run to discuss routes, mistakes, the weather or anything else that takes your fancy. The University Club have been most welcoming as usual. Please support them by ordering food (available from the bar).

Food is available until 8.30pm. If someone is going to be later than that, another can order and pay on their behalf for a later collection. But food will come down latest at 8.30. University Club cafe
