Can we see your tee? Any colour, any year, anywhere - we’d love to see where you have worn yours!

With the higher temperatures we know your favourite long sleeve running tee is now likely having an ‘off season’ and you are having withdrawal symptoms.

We would love to see where you have been in your Cotswold Classic finisher’s shirts - drop a photo in the comments below 👇

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 👇
