Course Details
The route will take participants through a scenic journey, passing by six prestigious Oxford University colleges (Lincoln, Brasenose, All Souls, Queens, University, and Magdalen), as well as some of Oxford's architectural gems like the University Church and the Botanical Gardens. Runners will then proceed to Magdalen Bridge, spanning the Cherwell River, before culminating their run along Iffley Road. To the right, they'll have a captivating view of the Iffley Road Track, now known as the Sir Roger Bannister Track, where the historic record-breaking moment occurred.
At the finish line, runners will be presented with a keepsake from this momentous run, and they'll have the opportunity to explore the track and enjoy the Mile Fair.
