This much-loved fun run winds through the stunning grounds of Blenheim Palace, taking in all its breathtaking views en-route. Whether you’re a seasoned runner, casual jogger, or just fancy a scenic walk with friends, everyone is welcome!
You can take part on your own or as part of a team - bring along friends, family or colleagues for an unforgettable day out. Children aged 10 and over can join too, and well-behaved dogs (on leads). The event is pushchair friendly.
The route is tarmacked throughout and accessible, but please get in touch if you have questions.

Your entry fee covers all event costs, including parking, stewards, venue hire, timing, insurance, and all the essentials to make the day safe, smooth, and fun for everyone. And of course, your OX5 RUN medal on completion.

And it's your fundraising that can make a real difference for young patients cared for by our hospitals.
We ask each participant to aim to raise £250 to support our young patients and their families. The run raises important extras for the Oxford Children’s Hospital and children’s services across Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, such as play areas, sensory equipment to calm and distract young patients, and specialist medical technology for complex surgery.
So grab your trainers and join us for a fantastic day of fun and fundraising at Blenheim Palace.
