Cambridge x Oxford: The Half Marathon Challenge
Two of Britain's great university cities have joined forces. From 2027, you can take on the Cambridge Half Marathon and the Oxford Half Marathon with a single entry.
Run the Cambridge Half Marathon on Sunday 14 March 2027, then head south for the Oxford Half Marathon on Sunday 10 October 2027. Take on two iconic routes, two finish lines and two cities steeped in history. Both events sell out every year. Cambridge and Oxford routinely close entries months ahead of race day, and demand only grows.
Two Sell Out Events
Cambridge Half and Oxford Half both sell out every year. Book the bundle and one entry gets you a guaranteed place at both.
Exclusive Finisher Items
In addition to the event finisher medals and t-shirt, you’ll receive an exclusive Cambridge x Oxford: The Half Marathon Challenge medal and Finisher Tee.
Pack Postage Included
Skip the collection queue. Your race number and pack for both events land on your doormat before race week, so you turn up ready to run, not ready to queue.
9 months training with Runna
You're not just getting two start lines. You'll get a training plan built to get you across both finish lines.
Places will be released in two tranches of 250, with each ticket securing entry to both races. The first 250 places go on sale on Wednesday 30 September 2026, when general entry opens for the Cambridge Half Marathon. The remaining 250 places follow on Sunday 11 October 2026, when general entry opens for the Oxford Half Marathon. To secure access, runners must pre-register for the relevant event ahead of its on-sale date.
