1:15pm - The School minibus will transport participants from Ipswich School for the Tuddenham Fountain
2pm - Run starts
2:20pm - OI run starts
After run - The minibus brings runners  back to Ipswich School. Participants have the opportunity of a hot shower in the Pavilion
15:30 - Hot food and drinks will be served to runners and their guests in the New Dining Hall 

Participants are to meet at 1pm at Ipswich School, Sixth Form Car Park, Henley Road, Ipswich, IP1 3SG. (We will advise you of the car park gate code nearer the time)

A minibus will transport all runners at 1:15pm to the start of the race to prevent the Tuddenham Fountain's car park becoming overcrowded.
The ground is stony in places but is generally wet and muddy especially near the river so suitable spikes or studded fell shoes would be ideal.

At the end of the race (about 7km), the minibus will collect all OI's and bring them back to the School where changing and shower facilities will be available in the Pavillion.

 You are most welcome to stay and catch up with fellow OIs; please make your way to the New Dining Hall for a hot supper and refreshments.

The OI Cross Country Race Coordinator for 2025 is Tom Hancock. After booking if you have any specific race questions please contact Tom via email at twrhancock@gmail.com
