Cross-country running is open to all. Training assumes a motivation for good health, competition in both Michaelmas and Lent terms, a long-standing commitment to the values and competition schedule of the club, and strict adherence to teamwork.

We start our training in September with very short distances and build gradually and carefully to longer distances of 20k. The season ends in March. Training is a mixture of long slow distances, circuits and speed work.

In 2010 the senior squad were undefeated nationally and in 2011 the senior squad won bronze at the Knole Run and silver at the South East Schools Championships at Harrow. All staff who coach are competitive athletes locally, nationally and internationally. Runs take in most of rural Oxfordshire and beyond. Past pupils have captained their own club at University and some have competed on the international stage. One of the aims of the club is to build a life-long affinity towards running and competition (also see ‘Triathlon Club’).
