5K and 10K Route Map

10K Multi-Terrain Run

Our 10k multi-terrain run takes you around scenic routes through North Oxford. From the start at the school in Jericho, the run continues through the beautiful Worcester College, up William Lucy Way, and through Port Meadow as far as Wolvercote. From Wolvercote it’s back down Port Meadow through Burgess Field, along Aristotle Lane and down the Oxford canal. A short bridge hop takes you to the final homestretch through Jericho to St Barnabas Primary School.

The run can be challenging, as it is multi-terrain. Water is provided just after the 5 km mark and at the finish line, but we recommend that runners also carry their own. There are some steps at footbridges, with narrow paths and uneven surfaces and some of the course is on partially closed roads.

Participants with disabilities

As our races are multi-terrain, the courses include steep foot bridges, narrow gates and uneven surfaces. For more information and specific questions please contact the race committee.

Run Jericho brings together participants who have different goals and experience, so we have provided some handy guides on training before the race, as well as information on how to get here, and what to do on the day.
