About the Oxford Half Marathon

Oxford's dedicated half is a major UK city race with its own course and sold-out entry. The event focuses entirely on 13.1 miles rather than sharing identity with a full marathon.

Course

The closed-road course runs through central Oxford and past university scenery on a generally flat profile. Crowd density and frequent city turns may matter more than elevation.

Race-day weather

Mid-October in Oxford often brings cool racing temperatures, though rain and wind are common possibilities. Wet leaves and slick roads can affect footing on shaded sections.
