5k and 10k route map

Multi-terrain adult 10K run

Our 10k multi-terrain race takes you around scenic routes through North Oxford. From the start 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 at the 5k mark, but we recommend that runners also carry their own.

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.
