How to Get There

There is no parking available at University Parks, except for blue badge holders (access via South Parks Road), and parking in the city centre is limited. Therefore, we suggest using the city’s Park Ride network, details of which can be found on the Oxford Bus Company website. They are kindly putting on additional services on the day of the event. The 300 and 500 services pass closest to University Parks, but you can also use the 400 service and walk from the High Street.



Numerous other bus routes service the city centre and you can find more information (including maps and timetables) here.



Road closures for the event will be in place from 9am, so please ensure that you leave plenty of time for your journey - the event will start at 10.30am prompt.



Please check back for details on electric charging points and bike racks.

Further Information

This event is deemed suitable for wheelchairs with assistance. The course is entirely on paths and closed roads but the event site is on grass, which can become boggy in poor weather conditions. There is a limited amount of blue badge parking available at University Park's South Lodge on South Parks Road.
