Match 2 of the 2017-18 Chiltern XC League took place at Milton Keynes on 11th November 2017. The event also included the second race of the 2017-18 British Athletics Cross Challenge and a competition between Oxford University and the RAF.
I took photos of four races: U17/U20 Women, Senior/Vet Women, U17 Men (with U20 Cross Challenge) and U20/Senior/Vet Men.
The photos were taken at two places which I've called "Point X" and "Point Y". Point X is roughly halfway between C and D and Point Y is roughly halfway between D and F where C, D and F are points on these maps.

Photos of the U17/U20 Women race:

The U17/U20 Women race took place at 1300. It consisted of two laps: a small lap (ABC) followed by a large lap (ABCDEDFC). I didn't take any photos on lap 1. On lap 2, I took photos at points X and Y. However, at point X, I only got the runners at the front. And at point Y from 13:20 onwards there were Senior/Veteran Women as well.

Photos of the Sen/Vet Women races:

The Senior/Vet Women race took place at 1315. It consisted of two laps: a medium lap (ABCDFC) followed by a large lap (ABCDEDFC). On lap 1, I took photos at point Y. However, at this point the runners were mixed up with U17/U20 Women doing their second lap. On lap 2, I took photos at point X.

Photos of the U17 Men and the U20 Cross Challenge Men race:

The race for the U17 Men of the Chiltern League and the U20 Men of the Cross Challenge took place at 1340. It consisted of two laps: a medium lap (ABCDFC) followed by a large lap (ABCDEDFC). I took photos at point X on lap 1 and at points X and Y on lap 2. However, at points X and Y on lap 2, I only got the runners at the front.

Photos of the U20/Senior/Vet Men race:

The race for U20/Senior/Vet Men took place at 1400. It consisted of three laps: a medium lap (ABCDFC) followed by two large laps (ABCDEDFC). On lap 1, I took photos at point X. On lap 2, I took photos at both points X and Y. However, on lap 2 at point X, I only got the runners at the front. On lap 3, I took photos at point Y. From 14:26 to 14:41 when I was at point Y, there was a mix of runners because slower runners doing lap 2 were lapped by fast runners doing lap 3.
