Join our Oxford Half Marathon waiting list
We have now fully recruited for our 2026 team, but you are welcome to register here if you would like to be on our waiting list. In the event that one of our team has to drop out, we will offer the place to those on the waiting list first, before opening it up to the public. Plus, you’ll be first to hear about our places for next year!
Oxford Half returns Sunday 11th October 2026, with a beautiful route of 13.1 miles throughout the University Parks and historical Oxford City Centre. We would love you to join us in cheering on Team Earth Trust on the day!

Event distance: 13.1 miles
Earth Trust charity place cost: Free
Fundraising pledge: £210
All of our runners will be fundraising hard for Earth Trust, and we look forward to sharing more of their stories with you in the run up to the event. Their fundraising is representative of 6 hours of specialist land and habitat management, which drives our work innovating for nature restoration and supporting nature and people to thrive together.
The fast and flat route is a fantastic challenge for beginners as well as experienced runners. It begins in the city centre on Broad Street, where you can take in beautiful landmarks such as the Sheldonian Theatre and the Bodleian Library. It passes through Old Marston village, past the River Cherwell and Oxford University’s impressive Lady Margaret Hall, before finally finishing on Parks Road. Live entertainment, DJs and a cheering crowd will keep you running to the finish line!
