Bidwells Oxford 10K
Bidwells Oxford 10k is a closed-road city race organised in support of Muscular Dystrophy UK. The event began in 1982 and was established to raise funds for muscular dystrophy; all profits are used for the charity's work. The course runs through Oxford city centre and University Parks, with sections alongside local rivers and past historic university buildings. The route is marshalled and signed throughout.
The event includes an Event Village at University Parks with information and baggage tents, registration for on-the-day entries, food stalls and toilets. Race packs are posted to earlier entrants and later entrants collect packs at the Event Village. The race uses bib-mounted timing chips and chip-timed results are published after the event.
Entry attracts local runners, university students and club athletes and typically draws around 6,000 participants. The organisers provide a baggage marquee and a professional warm-up, and offer a Hippocampe Marathon running chair for assisted participation. There are specific arrangements for wheelchair users and accessibility needs, and a zero tolerance policy for abuse at the event. Transfers and deferred entries are available under the organisers' stated deadlines and conditions.
