Oxford Half Marathon
The Oxford Half Marathon is a 13.1 miles road race that takes place in the university city of Oxford. The course is described as fast and flat and runs through the city streets, passing Old Marston village, the River Cherwell and Oxford University’s Lady Margaret Hall. The route begins on Mansfield Rd and finishes back near the university area where it started.
The event includes live music and crowd support along the course. The race has sold out in recent years, with entries for 2026 also listed as sold out; running for a charity is the stated route for securing a place in 2026.
One named charity partner is Helen & Douglas House. Helen & Douglas House is described as the world’s first children’s hospice, providing care for terminally ill children and support for their families in Oxfordshire and nearby counties. Care is provided at the Oxford hospice, at home and in hospital, with the organisation noting a focus on creating lasting memories and providing care whenever it is needed.
The published information highlights the course, the charity entry route for 2026 and key local landmarks that runners pass during the half marathon. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
