About
Bidwells Oxford 10k is the oldest run in our Town and Gown series. Inspired by a local boy Daniel Cleaver who had muscular dystrophy, it started in 1982. The course offers a unique opportunity to run on city roads amidst Oxford's scenic landmarks and historic charm, with beautiful stretches through the city's parks and alongside its rivers. It's an ideal setting for both fun runners and experienced runners aiming to achieve a personal best (PB).
