As races are not taking place at the moment, I'm creating some web pages entitled "where I was taking photos this time last year". Today, I'm looking at Match 2 of the 2019-20 Chiltern XC League that took place at Teardrop Lakes in Milton Keynes. Like previous years, it was held in conjunction with the British Athletics Cross Challenge and at the same time there was also a competition between Oxford University and the RAF. Although towards the bottom of this web page, there are photos of those who came first in these additional events, the top part of this web page shows photos of those runners that did well in the Chiltern XC League.
Last year's event took place on Sat Nov 9th 2019 and this year's event was to have taken place today (Sat Nov 7th 2020). Unfortunately, because of Covid-19 it has had to be cancelled.
By the way, you can click on any of the photos on this web page to see the photo in hi-res.

The above map is taken from the organizer's website.

If you did Match 2 of the 2019-20 Chiltern XC League at- Teardrop Lakes and want a reminder, then here's a link to all the photos that I took. There's a calculator on that web page that makes it easy to find the photos of a runner given their time and you can find the time from the results web page.
If you want to see the reviews I've done on other races, then here's a link to a web page that includes an index of the reviews of races.
I'm planning for my next review to be of the 2019 Rugged Radnage 10K. I hope to post that on Sun Nov 15th 2020.
I maintain a web page for runners that provides a list of races near Oxfordshire and the latest results. As well as a lot of postponed/cancelled races(!), it is now includes several races that plan to abide by the Covid-19 regulations. So go and visit www.oxonraces.com to see what races may take place. And if you use twitter, you may want to follow @oxonraces to become aware of important changes to this web page.
