About the race
Oxford Town and Gown is the oldest run in the series. It started in 1982 as a fun run. It now attracts up to 5,000 runners every year – including serious athletes, fun runners and club runners. The 10k takes you along a City Centre closed-road route that finishes in the University Parks.
This route is unique and scenic, which makes it perfect for all runners. You’ll find beginners taking on their first 10k race, and more experienced runners, hoping to beat their personal bests.
If you’re wanting to run your first, your fastest or your most orange 10k yet – this is the race for you.

Oxford Town and Gown route
The event route will remain similar to 2017. We’ll confirm the route closer to the event, but for now you can view the 2017 route below.
The start will be on South Parks Road, which is a five-minute walk from the event village.
The finish will be in University Parks, going into the Event Village.
The route takes you on to Oxford High Street and round the back roads of many of Oxford’s historic colleges. As you loop around the closed roads and soak up the atmosphere of the crowds, you’ll enter University Parks for the final 3km of the route. After running along the River Cherwell, you’ll finish your race in front of the Event Village and Cricket Pavilion.
Fun fact about the route:
Some of the historic colleges you run past date back to the 13th century!
