With over a third of entries now sold it is time for our first ‘Club Anthems’ chart rundown of the year. We have 71 first time entries, let’s see where they enter in the chart…

Entering the top ten we have joint sales for Alchester Running Club, Cirencester AC and Eynsham Road Runners

In at 7 we have another stalemate between Abbey Running Club, Bourton Roadrunners and Headington Road Runners

Creeping into the top 5 we have Abingdon Athletics while Kidlington Running Club just edge them out at 4.

At 3 we have our alliterative friends the Harwell Harriers

While at 2 we have the pink pigeons of Faringdon Far Runners

Which means your midweek number 1 are Woodstock Harriers

Analysing the midweek sales a little further we have 40 entries for the Oxfordshire County Championships and entries spanning a range of ages from 16 to 73 with 42 being the most popular spot!

As we near half way on entries your entry could make all difference to the charts 👇

Nearly ‘go time’ for those running arguably the biggest event in the running calendar - apart from the event on the 5th September of course! 😉

We would like to wish all those taking part in the London Marathon the best of luck. Here are some stats to show how these two iconic races compare.

This year you’re in for a real treat when you cross the finish line. For the first time ever we will not be offering long-sleeve tees but finishers’ pants. Don’t worry, these will still be offered in both men’s and ladies’ fit.

If your underwear drawer is full, or you would prefer to give a little back to nature; you can still opt for a plant not a pant instead - just decide when you enter.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Happy April Fools! Did we fool you?

If you entered today hoping for a new pair of pants you will have to look elsewhere - sorry! 🤭

We are pleased to confirm we will still be offering our collectible long sleeve tees in men’s and ladies’ fits (or a tree if you prefer).

👕 Tee or tree? 🌲

This year we are proud to team up with Trees Not Tees

For the collectors out there, don’t worry we will once again be offering our striking long sleeve finishers’ tee in both men’s and ladies’ fit.

If however your running kit drawer is already overflowing, or you would rather give a little back to nature, this year you can select to plant a tree instead.

Tee or tree? The choice is yourself, simply select when you enter.

Entries open on Wednesday. To find out more about Trees not Tees follow the link
