OSS March 2016 (Rose Hill & Iffley)

The third race of 2016 will be around Iffley, Rose Hill and Littlemore and has been planned by Marcin Krzysztofik. Those of you who ran in the January 2016 event will recall it was sponsored by the Royal Mail. This time the sponsor is one of the main daily newspapers !

Event Centre

The event centre will be the Prince of Wales pub in Iffley (73 Church Way, OX4 4EF). There is some parking available at the pub but not many spaces. If possible please come on foot, by bicycle or by public transport 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. Don’t forget your head torch as some paths may be unlit.

Terrain

Largely tarmac roads and paths. The traffic can be busy in places so you must take care crossing all roads. The A4142 (Eastern By-Pass Road) is very dangerous and must ONLY be crossed at the four marked points on the map.
Iffley Road/Henley Avenue will have significant traffic; great care should also be taken when crossing them.

Social & Food

If you can, please stay after you have run to discuss routes, mistakes, the weather or anything else that takes your fancy. The pub will serve some food (to be confirmed nearer the event’s date), but you are more than welcome to get some nibbles like nuts etc. and obviously a post-run pint!
