History & Results
This page contains archived race results and reports from Oxford-Cambridge Varsity matches, BUCS competitions and other club races.
OUTriC, founded in 2000, had its inaugural Varsity Triathlon Match in 2003 and has grown exponentially since - we have since included an annual Varisty Duathlon Match, received Discretionary Full Blue Status and have more members than ever competing for us!
Each year, Oxford and Cambridge go head to head at Varsity Duathlon in the spring and Varsity Triathlon in the summer. The event is open to experienced triathletes and novices alike. The Blues teams are not selected prior to racing - they are made up from the top 6 finishers from each university on the day. We also have a seconds team that is selected from the 7th, 8th and 9th athletes on the day. The club also sends athletes to BUCS Duathlon, BUCS Sprint Triathlon, BUCS Olympic Triathlon and more races besides. Results from these can also be found here, by clicking on the links.
