There will be thousands of runners and spectators heading to the centre of Oxford on the morning of the race, so please plan your journey well in advance and allow plenty of time to get to the start. There will also be a number of road closures and diversions in place, and in addition, there are roadworks taking place on the main roundabouts to the north of Oxford. Please factor this into your travel plans. Road closure information can be found here.

A limited amount of event-specific triathlon bike racking will be available adjacent to the Race Village. To secure your bike to the rack, you need to lift the bike up and position thefront part of the saddle over the metal bar. There are also plenty of bike parking facilities available in Oxford city centre, which should be used if you plan to cycle to the event. In all cases, we recommend you lock your bike to the racking. Bikes are left at the owner’s risk and should only be left in designated areas. Please note that bike racking facilities in Broad Street will not be available on race day.

We advise that tickets are purchased in advanced to save time on race day. Tickets cost £6.00 per car including a return bus ticket (additional passengers are £1.50 each). Places are limited and advance parking will close once spaces are full, therefore we advise that you book early to secure your car parking space. Please note that to avoid penalties you must park in the car park you booked – changes will not be possible. To assist with congestion, please car share where possible.
