The Isis Winter League (IWL) is a series of head races run throughout Michaelmas and Hilary terms. IWLs are open not only to OURCs affiliated crews, but also to other rowing clubs based on the Isis, so all are encouraged to participate. The course usually runs from Donnington Bridge to Cox's Stone opposite Christ Church Meadow.
In years with low water time (e.g. IWLs and/or Torpids are cancelled), the OURCs Committee may elect to hold an “Isis Spring League” in Trinity Term.

Marshals will be provided with the relevant page of IWL Marshalling Guides on the day. We will be using the IWL Marshal Briefing as a basis for our briefing. We strongly recommend that marshals read over the above guides a few days before coming down for their shift to allow the knowledge to sink in. Please ensure that marshals sent to the river have a suitable baseline knowldge of rowing. We strongly encourage and prefer experienced rowers, especially early in the year.
