PLEASE USE THE TOILET FACILITIES PROVIDED – Portaloos will supplement the toilets available in the clubhouse. Anyone identified defecating or urinating in public at any OXL venue will receive an outright 12–month ban from the League with immediate effect.

Lyme Disease Notice
When running through woodlands there is always a risk of being bitten by tick’s etc. and therefore insect repellent containing DEET is advisable. Unfortunately, if a tick is infected with Lyme disease there is a possibility of it passing on the disease to runners.
If after having run through woodlands or long grass you notice a red circular rash around a bite mark, it would be advisable to get it checked out sooner rather than later. Further details can be found on this NHS Lyme Disease webpage.

Important Notes: All parking will be in the main BMW MINI Plant Car Park (see directions below) with the exception of officials, club tents and disabled athletes who may park at the track. Please treat the car park with respect and walk to the venue. Cross the road with care as traffic approaches quickly in both directions.
There is strictly NO PARKING on the Horspath Road or the entrance to the track.
