Please note: Deferrals and Transfer to a friend are now closed for 2025.
The entry fee to the Oxford Half is non-refundable.
We do offer options for your entry for a fee if you can no longer participate. You can choose to defer to the following year or transfer your entry to a friend by following the instructions below:
Transfer your place to a friend or family member.
Manage your booking here and enter your booking reference

Select the 'Transfer' option, followed by 'Transfer to a friend'
Input their name and email address
Click 'Send transfer link'
Upon registration, your friend will be required to pay a £25 transfer fee.
Please note that your entry will only be cancelled once your friend has entered the event and taken your place. There are a limited number of transfer to a friend places for each event. We reserve the right to close this option at any time. We recommend you submit your transfer to a friend invitation at your earliest convenience. Their entry is not guaranteed until they are fully registered.
Defer your entry to 2026.
Manage your booking here and enter your booking reference
From your dashboard, click 'Manage' next to your name

Follow the prompts and review the deferral policy to defer your entry to the following year
Upon registration to the 2026 event, you will be required to pay a fee of 50% of the 2026 ticket price. Registrations for the 2026 event will be sent out two weeks after the 2025 event.
Please note there are a limited number of deferrals for each event. We reserve the right to close this option at any time. We recommend you submit your deferral at your earliest convenience. Your entry is not guaranteed until you are fully registered for the 2026 event.
Low-cost insurance policies are available that protect event participants in the event that they have to withdraw from the event due to injury, illness or other reasons depending upon the insurance policy in question. Where possible we will provide a link to an insurance option of this type during the registration process, but we do not do so as any form of recommendation of the specific policy, other than to recommend that participants provide themselves with adequate insurance.
