Introduction

The Oxford
University Club provides social and sports facilities for staff and postgraduate students who do not have access to college facilities.

The running group usually meets Tuesday lunchtime, and Thursday evening each week throughout the year, starting from the changing rooms at the back of the University Club in Mansfield Road (map, actually just to the right of the "L" in "MANSFIELD RD" - the arrow on the map can be a bit random). Showers and lockers are available, although the lockers require a pound coin as deposit for the key.

The number of participants varies between 2 and 20 (see statistics) and runs typically last 30-40 minutes, with alternative routes to suit all abilities, typically spanning 6-10 minute mile pace. After the Thursday evening run we settle into the bar of the University Club to set the world to rights.

The club does not seek to poach members from proper local running clubs and it is not affiliated to any athletics organisation. The more enthusiastic members enter events such as those listed below, but there are others who only ever turn for the pub sessions. However, be warned that some of the latter category have unexpectedly found themselves pitched into the former category (some, but not all while under the influence of alcohol).

New runners are welcome to join us at any time, although those less confident in their running abilities may prefer to wait for the special "newcomers" sessions (usually the first Tuesday and Thursday of every month) where we attempt to provide escorts and 30 minute-routes whatever your speed.

Jason Smith, 27Jan09

OK what's got 17 legs, more twist and turns than a twisty-turny thing, and remains throughout like American beer (you know...)? Its the OUCH T'riffic Thames Trot 2009!!

www.mapmyrun.com/run/united-kingdom/london/487977257921

Yes, after a clear mandate from El Presidente at the Non-Christmas Dinner, your dedicated disorganiser has started concocting a plan. In summary, my suggestion is to start on a Saturday lunchtime from Teddington, and get as far as Temple Footbridge (Marker H - one past Cookham) on Saturday. This is 40.5 miles, and we should comfortably be holed up in a nice Cookham pub with pie and chips by about 7pm. On Sunday the remaining distance is 55.8 miles, which with a 10am start should see us celebrating our triumph in the Head of the River at a similar hour. Single legs of the relay vary between 0.5 and 8.2 miles - the former is the final leg, designed for a 'mass finish'. Most are straightforward to navigate, and very scenic! The idea is that people get to choose which legs they do, and the more participants we have, the more choice there will be. Any number of runners can do each leg, but the intention at least is that if runners of different speeds are on the same leg they stick together to minimise the chance of major f**k-ups. Changeover points are all car accessible - I reckon we'll need two at least - mostly with nearby parking, and the occasional conveniently placed watering hole.

    Bath ½ M

    www.runninghigh.co.uk

    Lovely running weather and a good crowd although a bit cold. 15,000 entrants so the start was the usual scrum. - RP 2010

    I really enjoyed the event and I consider Bath a special place, so maybe I am a bit biased. The truth is that I do not really have other terms of comparison as this was my first run (a part from a 10K in Madrid for S. Silvestre, which was just for fun). The course is rather flat, which is very good considering how hilly Bath can be, and you basically have to cover the same lap twice. Start and finish line are in a quite suggestive area in the center of the city. There were lots of people cheering up for runners along the way (some spectators playing music too!), which I thought it was nice (Amy Williams gave the start to the race by the way!) and everyone in the runners village seemed pretty nice and organised giving people some snacks, drinks and massages on request! The only downside of the event to me is the price. I paid £34 for running and I have been told be other half-marathons are usually cheaper than that - DR 2010.

    Bournemouth Quarter Marathon

    We thought the race was 10k (given the advert we saw was for the Easter 10k), but it turned out to be a quarter marathon (6.55 miles). The course was more or less the second half of the Bournemouth half marathon, but in the rain and an Easterly wind. More expensive than the half marathon, but pleasantly shorter - VJ.

    Road Relay County Championships

    Hook Norton, 3.25m.

    Not sure if this counts for the OUCH website (I think only teams from affiliated clubs could enter), but Alan and I ran in the Road Relay County Champs at Hook Norton Sports and Social Club on Sunday, representing HRR. An undulating 3.25 mile course through country lanes and Hook Norton village, men's teams of six and women's of three. Nice weather, and fine beer afterwards :) - JS 2009.

    Dorney Dash 10k

    www.datchet-dashers.com/dash/

    It's basically 2 up-and-back laps of the new Dorney rowing lake. So you get the benefits of it being perfectly flat, wide paths and no cars. It's a good opportunity to do a fast time if you're feeling fit. It's a bit odd to run 2km in a dead straight line though. And the black tarmac reflects the heat nicely on a blistering hot day. It's well organised and you can use the rowing clubhouse for changing, showers and refreshments - PD 2006.

    Dorney Lake 10k (Cancer Research)

    www.cancerresearchuk.org/10k/venues/dorney_lake/

    2006: More of a charity "event" than a race - they didn't even do any official timing. Me - 44.37, Julie - 50.44. It was quite a big event, ~1500, and crowded so you need to be near the front if you're after a fast time. Dead flat - obviously! - PD
    2007: Those are good times for us but we think that is due to the course being distinctly short (6.05 miles on our GPSs) rather than to athleticism on our part!- PD

    Edinburgh Marathon

    http://www.edinburgh-marathon.co.uk/

    It was bloomin' hot. I also think that a certain Mr. Bull needs to explain why he saw the need to fail to let on important info about the event (namely the last 4 miles are uphill!). Having said that, the city is lovely, and the marathon route isn't really too bad - quiet in places, but still fairly good. My only gripe would be the somewhat random mile marker placement (I had a 9m 16s split followed by a 4m15s....!!), and they could maybe do with a few more water stations. - GC 2006

    It was hilly, cold, windy and wet. Free hot drink for runners. Bit cramped hiding from the weather in the scout hut , but plenty of bacon sandwiches, soup and other refreshments available - VB 2010.

    The course is "ok". The first few k is an upward climb out of the river valley, then it's a few k on flat (and very exposed on a cold day!) countryside before a few k back down again. It's a handy, local event and the roads are well organised but changing is cramped, there's nowhere decent to leave a bag, the showers were switched off, very long queues for the loos and nowhere to get a hot drink which everyone was desperate for on a freezing day - PD 2008.

    Otmoor Challenge

    http://www.otmoor.co.uk

    An informal event held in conjunction with the Horton-cum-Studley village fete. Approximately half-marathon distance around Otmoor with about half the distance on roads and the rest on tracks.
    It was sunny and hot with not much escape to the shade. The rough ground was hard and uneven - good ankle strengthening in the longest field in the world (miles 8 and 9) followed by the longest hill in the world at mile 10. Nice route, but the longest "half-marathon" in the world, with good cakes and tea and a very jolly fete afterwards. - V&J 2006

    Pfaeffikersee-Lauf (12.3km)

    www.zuerilaufcup.ch/zkb-zuerilaufcup/pfaeffikersee-lauf

    It was a small local run, so by Swiss standards, this means you only get water on the course and one changing room and shower facility each for men and women. (Electronic timing, signposts every kilometer, SMS results when you cross the line, children's care area, sausage stand are apparently basic runner rights here) - VD'S 2010

    Silverstone 10k

    www.silsonjoggers.org.uk/runningraces/silverstone10k/index.php

    Two laps of the Grand Prix circuit.
    Part of the East Midlands Grand Prix series of summer evening runs.
    The circuit has more gradients than you might imagine, and the straights can seem very long. It's an evening race in May (usu. 7.30pm kick-off), so conditions often good - no midday heat nor night-time cool. Track seemed less strewn with debris this year, with over 1,000 registered starters. Changing takes place in the pits, and the race finishes in the pitlane - unfortunately the start is not generated by the overhead lights, but a traditional starting-pistol. Well organised by Silson Joggers AC. Probably a 60-mile round trip from Oxford, but at least you can say "I raced at Silverstone"... - CL 2003

    History

    The running group can trace its origins back to
    1974 when a group from the Atmospheric Physics Department met weekly at Iffley Road cinder running track (where Roger Bannister ran the first 4-minute mile) for some general fitness training. Afterwards we used to have a drink in the local pub The Fir Tree (re-named to The Old Ale House in 1999). Over the years weight and circuit training became less popular with the participants and, since the boom in the early 1980s, running has become the sole activity (other than the post-training fluid replacement therapy sessions).

    The origins of the running group are difficult to define precisely. However, the following records have been extracted from an old diary.

    Wednesday 9th January 1974

    Wednesday 23rd January 1974

    Thursday 24th January 1974

    Damn, I'll never be able to claim I was quicker than 1.49 ...
    
    Looks good. Mind you, if i'd ever read that before I came running the
    first time I would have been scared off ... it all sounds so serious. I'd
    put more about the pub sessions right in the first sentence. And mention
    the Angel in the first paragraph ... but then that shows my priorities.
