Oxford Half 2026

The Oxford Half is an autumn half marathon held in Oxford city centre. It takes place on closed roads, featuring a fast, flat route. Since 2011, this race has been a fixture on the UK running calendar, designed around the city's streets and college setting, distinct from a park loop or out-and-back course. The course winds through Oxford’s historic backdrop, with participants running through the city itself. The event is designed for both everyday runners and more competitive half-marathon racers, with the flat profile offering a good opportunity for a strong finish time. All finishers receive a race medal and tee, and the day includes an Event Village after the run.
