About the race
Bidwells Oxford 10k is a closed road race held in Oxford with a route through the city centre and University Parks. The course passes historic university buildings, riverside stretches and city landmarks, and is described as fast and flat. The event is part of the Town and Gown series and began in 1982; all profits support Muscular Dystrophy UK. The event includes an Event Village in University Parks where runners find information and baggage tents, on-the-day registration, food stalls and toilets.
Race packs are posted to earlier entrants and later entrants collect packs from the registration marquee on the day. The race uses chip timing; finishers can receive an SMS with their chip-time and official chip-timed results are published after the event. The event attracts around 6,000 runners including local competitors, university students and club and fun runners. Prize presentations are based on chip-time and include first, second and third places for female and male categories and first place in female and male age groups.
A zero-tolerance policy on abuse applies at the event. Accessible arrangements are available for wheelchair users and assisted runners. A Hippocampe Marathon running chair is offered for assisted participation. Place transfer and deferral options are available with deadlines; deferrals carry a fee except in the case of pregnancy.
