Be part of the Cancer Research UK team in our first year as a charity partner with the Oxford Half Marathon.

Cancer Research UK is the only charity fighting over 200 types of cancer including the one that is closest to you. As part of our Oxford Against Cancer campaign, your support will go towards the £22 million that is spent every year on research in Oxford by more than 450 locally based researchers.

Our researchers in Oxford are focusing on a wide range of cancers, including breast, bowel, lung and pancreatic cancers, with particular expertise in drug development, computing, radiotherapy, surgery and imaging. With your help we can continue the vital work that is being done and help bring forward the day that all cancers are cured.

Join our Team!

On the 12th October, run as part of the CRUK team around this picturesque route which ends with an unbeatable stadium finish.

Wear our branded running vest, take on board all our fundraising and training tips, share your story with us and celebrate in style at our post-race party!
