Southern Cross Country

An idea for a few people to head to the spiritual home of cross country running to take on the Southern XC Championships turned out to be a fantastic club day out with 16 people running for Witney Road Runners (plus Stephen Young running for his first claim Milton Keynes) cheered on by 7 hardy supporters!

A coach ride into London was an opportunity to chatter and natter with clubmates and we soon arrived at Hampstead Heath, home of the challenging Parliament Hill course. We found a fine spot right next to the course to pitch the tent and get the Witney flag flying. Fortunately it was sheltered from the cold breeze blowing across the hills. We also played offered hospitality to a couple of our Oxfordshire compatriots from White Horse Harriers who were grateful for the shelter.

There was plenty of time to check out the course, see some of the junior races and soak up the atmosphere before the women were heading down the hill to the start. The swarm of over 700 runners crested the hill close to the tent, embarking on one medium lap and one long lap for the 8km race. All 4 Witney ladies seemed to be relishing the challenging and running strongly.

With the women nearing the end of their race it was time for the men to head down to the start. Over 1100 runners toed the wide start line next to the Lido eyeing the course funneling up the hill. The charge at the start was accompanied by a Braveheart-inspired cry of “Freedom!”.

There’s not much flat on this hilly course and what flat there is was soggy and muddy. Comments from other runners noted how dry and firm the course was compared to previous years so perhaps we were fortunate. It was a good amount of mud – enough to provide a challenge but not so much to lose a shoe!

The first lap was tricky as the course was packed with runners meaning you couldn’t really see what was coming but as the field spread out you could start to get into a rhythm and pick your way through the varying terrain. The second lap provided an opportunity to cheer on a few clubmates at points where parts of the course wound close to each other. It was great to be cheered on by the women and our band of supporters too . I was only too happy to repay their cheers with a pose or two! Neil kept us honest by popping up around the course with his camera to capture us unawares!

Bob had the courtesy to say hello as he passed me (giving me a bit of my own medicine from Adderbury a few years ago!) and as I neared the start of the third and final lap the leaders were on their way to the finish line. It’s amazing how easy they make it look, gliding their way past.

The third lap actually went surprisingly quickly – although unsurprising after finding the course wasn’t quite the 15km we’d been promised! The last kilometre was what I’d been looking forward to most – a long, muddy downhill to the final corner and 

last few hundred metres – made even better by the Witney squad cheering both at the top of the hill as well as at the finish line.

After congratulations all round and packing up the tent we headed back for a much quieter coach journey. Some well earned rest was had! And to cap of a fun day a few of us continued the debrief with a few drinks in Brew on our return to Witney.

Everyone seemed to enjoy the day so hopefully it can become a regular feature of our club calendar and we can get more people running and cheering next time!
