Oxford Half Marathon 2023 – it’s time to #RunforYouth!

31 July 2023

Experience the joy of running through peaceful university parks and the historic heart of the city of dreaming spires

Hooray! We are very excited that registration is now open for our 2023 Oxford Half Marathon #RunforYouth team! Please click here to register your interest today. Places are limited and going fast!

Times are exceptionally tough for young people right now, and this means that charities like Oxfordshire Youth that support those most in need are not having an easy time.

By running for us on Sunday 15th October, you will be joining team #RunforYouth, to raise vital funds, ensuring that Oxfordshire Youth continues to be there for young people facing multiple hardships.

Supporting this core funding campaign is one of the most important ways you can champion young people, because without our core costs covered, we simply would not exist. 

Not a big runner? We are also taking registrations for our cheer team! Join Oxfordshire Youth staff, our business partners, school and youth sector workers, who will be lining the route, supporting the cause, and cheering on our runners – and maybe catapulting jelly babies from the curb to keep them going.

In 2022, we were thrilled to have over 30 fabulous people taking to the streets to #RunforYouth, and this year we are determined to smash our fundraising target of £15,000. You’ve arrived at the right place to take a stand for young people, and for your own health and wellbeing. We’re so glad you’re here. Let’s do this!

This year I had the pleasure of running for Oxfordshire Youth, it was my first ever half marathon and the support from OY was fantastic from start to finish. The team did a great job at keeping us motivated and uplifted throughout the training process. I felt I was part of a family and it really supported my experience and ensured I totally set myself up for success!” Natalie Davis
