Trail Escape: Oxford
Choose your distance and join #TeamHOx for Trail Escape as it takes place in Oxford for the first time in June 2027.
With a choice of two routes which you can take at a pace that suits you best Trail Escape Oxford is an exciting new challenge event that offers you a fantastic opportunity to run or hike a stunning trail marathon (42km) or 25km.
Whether you opt for 42km or 25 km both routes will follow a traffic-free ‘green corridor’ to pick up well established and maintained trails along the picturesque riverside and relatively flat Oxfordshire countryside. You’ll get to take in stunning views to the city – and the best part – you will get to cross the finish line in the heart of historic and beautiful Oxford!
The marathon and the 25km will start just outside the city, which will be accessible by public transport, and a short distance from Oxford itself.
Both routes will suit all levels of runners and experienced walkers. (We would recommend you can walk for at least seven hours non stop before taking part in the 42km marathon event.)
If you sign up to run, don’t worry if you need to walk some of the way – that’s encouraged so you can properly take in the beauty of where you are running! The terrain may be challenging in places, but we assure you that slowing down to take in everything that is Trail Escape is more than acceptable.
Join #TeamHOx for Trail Escape: Oxford and you’ll be part of an amazing group of people taking on this challenge to help us provide an open door for people experiencing homelessness across Oxfordshire. Every pound you raise will make a real and lasting difference to people whose lives have been shaped by trauma and disadvantage.
