Oxford 10km

Bidwells Oxford 10K

The Bidwells Oxford 10k takes place on 9 May 2027 in University Parks, Oxford. It is the oldest run in the Town and Gown series, first held in 1982 and set up in memory of a local boy who had muscular dystrophy. All event profits support Muscular Dystrophy UK.

The race is a closed-road 10 km course through Oxford city centre and University Parks, with routes that pass historic landmarks, university buildings and rivers. The course is marshalled and clearly signed. The event also includes an Event Village with vendors, food and baggage facilities, and offers professional warm ups and chip timing. Finishers receive an exclusive medal and branded items, and there is an option to pre-order a finisher t-shirt. Official event photographs are available to purchase after the race.

Entry packages include race packs sent by post for entries completed before the stated deadline; later entries collect packs at the Event Village. Prize presentations are based on chip times and include overall and age group categories. Accessibility arrangements are available for wheelchair users and assisted runners, and the event can provide a marathon running chair on request. The listed early-bird registration fee is £34.
