Held annually in Oxford, Oxfordshire, this main 10k race is a significant fixture for runners of all levels. Participants can expect a well-organized and atmospheric race, starting and finishing in the heart of the city, amidst the iconic university colleges. The route typically takes runners on a scenic journey through the historic streets of Oxford, offering glimpses of famous landmarks and cobbled paths. While largely on paved surfaces, the terrain can include some uneven sections due to the historic nature of the city. Conditions in May are generally pleasant, but runners should be prepared for varying weather, from cool mornings to warmer afternoons.
