Our aim is to provide a platform for people of all ages and abilities to develop and improve their fitness and running ability in a friendly and sociable environment. We are based in Woodstock, Oxfordshire (map shows location of our usual run starting point at the Town Gate) and welcome members from the town and surrounding villages.
Woodstock Harriers train throughout the year. Please feel free to view our training programme. Come along and join in. All abilities are catered for and all are welcome. The club also runs WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram groups.
Training is fun and training with a group usually makes things easier. We look forward to seeing you soon. Any questions, please do Contact Us.
Oxon XC League – Race 5 Relocated
Some brilliant quick-fire efforts from several parties means we not only have a replacement venue for Round 5 but potentially a new venue for future seasons too.
Round 5 will now take place on farmland close to Finmere, just over the county border into Buckinghamshire, on the original date of March 1st. Fortunately there’s a huge amount of hard standing for parking (that’s just inside the Oxfordshire border!) so further rainfall shouldn’t compromise the fixture.
The OXL Committee is working with Abingdon AC and Radley AC to complete the arrangements so please bear with us while the fixture details are finalised. They are likely to come after a further site visit has been completed.
The schedule will match our standard fixture schedule and the intention is still to present the end of season awards at the same times as last year – although there is no shelter like the Henley barn so be prepared to get wet!
Couch to 5K
Once again we will be starting some sessions specifically for new and improving runners. Some of our new runners from last year’s sessions will be on hand to join in and help lead the sessions.
When: Sundays at 9 am. – a time that we think will fit better with family commitments. Also we don’t have to deal with running in the dark, which can put off beginners.
Start: January 11th and finish after nine weeks with a Parkrun on Saturday 7th March.
Where: Meet at the Town Gate, Blenheim Park, OX20 1PP.
Format: Aligns with a full couch-to-5k course. Two leaders per session.
Fees: £1.67 per session, which totals £15 for the complete nine weeks and gives full membership of Woodstock Harriers for one year.
