Oxford Half Marathon | Events

How much do I have to raise?

For this half marathon we ask for a minimum sponsorship commitment of £150.

This amount could help to get a cat ready for homing with a health check, vaccinations, worming, neutering and blood testing - allowing for the best possible start in the cat's new forever home.

Please note our 2025 team is now full. Please contact our team to be added to our waiting list. If you have your own place in the event you can still join Team Cats! Please get in touch here.

How we're helping cats in Oxford

From Cherwell to Chiltern, we have a number of volunteer-run branches across the Oxfordshire area who work tirelessly to help abandoned, unwanted and neglected cats.

You're able to nominate any local Cats Protection branch or centre to receive 100% of the money you raise from your challenge, helping the cats and kittens in your chosen area.

I've got a query - how can I get in touch?

If you have questions, please call our Events team on 01825 741 960 or email events@cats.org.uk.
