The Oxford Half School’s Challenge invites primary school-aged children in the Oxfordshire area to take part in a 13.1 mile challenge, completing the equivalent distance of a half marathon over several weeks leading up to race day. On event day, all students run their final mile on the official Oxford Half course, cheered on by spectators and treated like real finishers.
If you work at a local school and would like to be involved in 2026, please fill out the form on this page here. We will be sending out more information in June 2026.
Please note, we will only be contacting school staff/organisers, not parents. If you are a parent, please talk to your school to get involved.
