UKOSF have also recently announced the British OCR Junior Championships on October 23rd 2022 at the Swanbourne Endeavour in Milton Keynes.

Now in its 12th year, the Swanbourne Endeavour is a gutsy, gruelling off-road endurance event. It allows you to plunge into the wilds of Buckinghamshire – streams, woods, fields and haystacks for a cross-country OCR race.

There will be a competitive 4K-5K course for age groups between 10 and 17. There will also be a shorter non-competitive wave for six years and up.

There will be finisher medals for all children who take part, plus non-cash prizes and trophies for the podiums of the competitive waves.
