Bidwells Oxford 10K 2027
The Bidwells Oxford 10K is an annual closed-road race around Oxford city centre and University Parks, organised by Muscular Dystrophy UK as part of its Town and Gown series. The event has been held since 1982 and all event profits support Muscular Dystrophy UK’s work. The race course passes city landmarks, runs through parkland and alongside rivers, and is described as fast and flat.
The event normally attracts around 8,000 runners and includes additional activity in a central Event Village with information and baggage tents, food vendors, warm-ups, and prize presentations. Race packs with a timing chip attached to the bib are posted to earlier entrants or collected on the day for late entries. A baggage marquee is available in the Event Village.
The programme also features a junior 3 km for 9 to 15 year-olds and a main 10 km race open to participants aged 16 and over. Event services include chip timing, an exclusive finisher medal, branded finish items, and an option to pre-order a finisher t-shirt. A personalised training plan is offered via the event’s digital training partner URUNN. Accessibility arrangements are available for participants with specific needs, and the organisers operate a zero-tolerance policy on abuse at the event.
