2019-20 Oxfordshire XC Lague - Round 2 - Cirencester

As very few races are 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 Round 2 of the 2019-20 Oxfordshire XC League which took place on Sun Dec 1st 2019 at Cirencester Park. In his report on the event, Dene Stringfellow (the League Manager) wrote "Following all the recent rain, the conditions were ideal for cross country with a good deal of mud to be negotiated." This year's race was to have taken place today (Sun Dec 8th 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.

Postscript

If you did Round 2 of the 2019-20 Oxfordshire XC League 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 Oxford Christmas Fun Run. I'm hoping to post that on Tuesday (Dec 8th 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.
