Take on the fast half marathon through historic Oxford

12 Oct 2025
Oxford
£25 registration fee
£150 sponsorship commitment

The Oxford Half Marathon has a flat 13.1 mile course, with massive PB potential but also the ideal route for charity runners and those new to half marathons.

You'll race through the cobbled streets of the city where you'll be treated to plenty of Oxford's stunning architecture as well as live entertainment at every mile!

Ready for your next challenge? Join Team Cats and make a real difference to the cats and kittens that need our help.

How much do I have to raise?

For this half marathon we ask for a minimum sponsorship commitment of £150.

This amount could help to get a cat ready for homing with a health check, vaccinations, worming, neutering and blood testing - allowing for the best possible start in the cat's new forever home.

How we're helping cats in Oxford

From Cherwell to Chiltern, we have a number of volunteer-run branches across the Oxfordshire area who work tirelessly to help abandoned, unwanted and neglected cats.

You're able to nominate any local Cats Protection branch or centre to receive 100% of the money you raise from your challenge, helping the cats and kittens in your chosen area.
