Great first 10k. Great first 10k run and great atmosphere! Chip timing, medal and goodie bag all great! I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to try their first 10k or wants a pb!

Organiser's description

Oxford Town and Gown is the oldest run in the series. It started in 1982 as a fun run, and now attracts up to 5,000 runners every year including serious athletes, fun runners and club runners. The 10k takes you along a City Centre closed-road route that finishes in the University Parks. This route is unique and scenic, which makes it perfect for all runners. You’ll find beginners taking on their first 10k race, and more experienced runners, hoping to beat their personal bests. If you’re wanting to run your first, your fastest or your most orange 10k yet – this is the race for you.
