About the race
The Oxford Half Marathon is a road half marathon held in the city of Oxford. The event is scheduled for 10 October 2027 and is listed as a 13.1 miles distance. The organiser presents the race as having a fast and flat course that runs through Oxford city centre on closed roads and passes a number of historic architectural backdrops.
The event information highlights live music and cheering crowds along the route and a post-run celebration in an Event Village. The organiser also references an exclusive 2026 medal and race tee offered to that year’s finishers and notes the race first debuted in 2011; promotional material mentions "15 years of the Oxford Half."
The organiser reports that the 2027 edition sold out in five hours. Charity running is part of the event programme and organiser notes that charity runners have already raised £1.5 million this year; charities are described as providing support for training and fundraising. Participant feedback quoted by the organiser refers to a flat course, strong on-course support, live music, good race organisation, and satisfaction with the event village, t-shirt and medal.
