Welcome to the OURC!

The Open University Running Club (OURC) is based on the main OU Walton Hall campus in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire. The club exists primarily for staff and students at the Open University, but we welcome all runners to participate in our events; indeed retired OU staff, former students, runners from other running clubs and staff from local businesses often join us.

We organise a number of informal weekly and monthly runs, all of which start at the Pavilion. Further details can be found under ‘The Club’ tab above.

In addition to this website, search for us on Facebook for general news and events (‘The Open University Running Club’), and the annual ‘Les Irvine Memorial Relay’ race. There is also a group on Strava (‘Open University runners’).

Below, please find the latest results, race schedule for the coming months and the routes for the monthly races.
