Oxford Half 2025

The iconic Oxford Half Marathon returns to the historic streets of Oxford on Sunday 12 October 2025. Join Team Sobell and feel part of something very special.

The Oxford Half is a race you’ll never forget! The 13.1 mile route has live entertainment and unbeatable crowds to help you reach the finish line as you take in the stunning sights Oxford has to offer.

As we pay for your place in the race, we ask that you must reach the minimum fundraising target of £184. This helps us fund your place and additional costs such as your Sobell House top, admin costs, goody bags and support on race day.

 

Why £184? This amount could fund eight hours of compassionate, expert nursing care for a patient.

The more you are able to fundraise means the bigger the difference you will make to patients and families in Oxfordshire.

By joining Team Sobell you receive:

  • A charity-funded place, saving you £60 (please note: a charity funded place is not free, we are charged the same as individuals).
  • Fundraising support to help you reach your target of £184.
  • Access to a private Facebook group – available only to Team Sobell runners.
  • A Sobell House running t-shirt or vest.
  • Dedicated Team Sobell cheer stations.
  • A goody bag on race day.
  • The “feel good factor” knowing that you are helping your local hospice.
  • An Oxford Half finisher goody bag, t-shirt and medal gifted by the organisers.
PLEASE NOTE: we will be taking photographs at this event for future marketing purposes and there will be professional photography taken on the day too. If you DO NOT consent to your photo being used, please speak to a member of staff before the event or on the day.
