UK Cities Cup 2007

There was also some disagreement about whether one veterans class (M/W45+) or two (M/W40+ and M/W55+) were preferable/necessary (thoughts?).

Courses -- can be as few as one, if it's short enough (say, <2.5km), there are sufficient start times, and the terrain is safe for the minis. The middle- or classic-distance races require more courses.

Classes -- different question. The balance between the classes in my tables suggests that having the veterans as 40+ and 55+ works nicely. There aren't many competitors who are 65+. The safety issues probably mean that giving the planner the option of dividing the juniors at 12 and 16 is a good idea.

Does anyone know when the Oxford entries are open? It says late September on the website but my e-mail to organiser bounced back..

[distracted]

Should be very soon - we'll be sure to let everyone know when!

[Wendles]

Thankyou!

[Scott]

Yeah, what he said - should be open by the end of the week. Am a bit concerned if emails are bouncing, though: which address did you use?

[Wendles]

I used the 'organiser' link on the website.

[Scott]

Ah, defeated by our anti-spam measures You need to replace (at) with an @ sign...

Loads of photos at http://www.mysportstream.com/tags/orienteering more to be added later hopefully

If that link doesn't work, or is too slow, try http://www.mysportstream.com and type "orienteering" in search.

Big thanks to Liz Cross and OD for putting this cracking event on. Unfortunately i could not be there (gutted) but other members of the cartel were and said it was fantastic!

from an organising point of view, if this has inspired you, we are looking for planners and venues for next year! We would like to run the series between August and November next year and idealy have a district/National/regional/whatever you want to call them event on somewhere in the area on the same weekend so people can make a full weekend of it. If you are keen and have a venue in mind please get in touch wattok(at)nopesport.com.

Entries are now open at http://www.cityrace.org.uk. The closing date is Friday 26th Oct.

Would love to have done the Oxford race but we've already booked flights (long time ago) for the Venice Street event
Now that really is a challenge!

Is anyone going for the Oxford/Venice double as was mooted a while ago?

[Angry Haggis]

Is anyone going for the Oxford/Venice double as was mooted a while ago?

Yep, I'm doing it. Run Oxford with an early start, then on either the 3pm or 7pm flight out of Stansted (have tickets for both.) Coming back on the Sunday evening flight. Haven't worked out how I'm going to get from Oxford to Stansted yet though...
