Racing Wheelchairs

We are committed to making our events as inclusive and accessible as possible, and we actively welcome wheelchair participants to take part.

Following feedback and consultation from past participants, we have reviewed the course and decided that the route is not suitable for racing wheelchairs. This decision has been made in the interests of safety and to ensure the best possible experience for all participants.

Day chairs are still welcome at the Oxford Half. Anyone participating in a day chair will start at the back of their allocated pen, based on their estimated finishing time to ensure they can participate safely in the race.
