The Oxford Half Marathon has a flat 13.1 mile course, with massive PB potential but also the ideal route for charity runners and those new to half marathons.
You'll race through the cobbled streets of the city where you'll be treated to plenty of Oxford's stunning architecture as well as live entertainment at every mile!
Ready for your next challenge? Join Team Cats in 2026 and make a real difference to the cats and kittens that need our help.
For this half marathon challenge there is a registration fee of £25 and we ask for a minimum sponsorship commitment of £200.
This amount could feed 30 cats and kittens in our care for a whole month!
Join our team of Cat Champions to get a Cats Protection running vest and then simply set up a fundraising page and raise whatever you can to help the cats and kittens.
We'll be with you every step of the way, from sign-up to the finish line! When you join Team Cats, you’ll get a first-class experience including:
We help an estimated 157,000 cats and kittens a year through our national network which includes around 185 volunteer teams and 32 cat centres. We also provide an array of cat care information and support, promote the benefits of neutering, and seek to educate people of all ages about cats and their care.
You're able to nominate any local Cats Protection to receive 100% of the money you raise from your challenge, helping the cats in your chosen area.
