September Preseason Training Camp

Top of Sugar Loaf Mountain

Each year OUCCC organises a Pre-Season Training Camp in mid or late September, a few weeks before the start of Michaelmas Term in order to get reacquainted with miles, hills and each other. It is a fantastic trip and one that is highly recommended if you are new to the club and want to get to know people. It is great way to kickstart your cross country season after the long summer break and a way to get to know old and new members alike.

This camp is open to all current members, recent alumni and incoming Freshers, and if you are a Fresher starting in October this year and are interested in coming on the camp then please get in contact with the Club Captain. You are more than welcome!

Training Camp will be back and better than ever this year and will be held between 12th-16th September 2025 in the Peak District. We will be staying at The Roaches Bunkhouse just outside of the town of Leek, also known as the 'Queen of the Staffordshire Moorlands' on its website. It’s set to be a fantastic 4 days with great company, beautiful running, and some even better accommodation (seriously, just look at the website) so make sure you don’t miss out!

Whether an experienced club member or an incoming fresher, all are welcome to attend what should be a fantastic week before the start of term. To secure your place on this years trip, please fill contact the Club Captain (benjamin.mccartney@st-hildas.ox.ac.uk) and we will be in touch!
