About this event

The Oxford Half Marathon is the largest route outside of London that has chosen to go plastic free. Here at the RSPCA, we've made changes to reduce our impact on the environment too with RSPCA running vests made from recycled plastic bottles and no more single-use plastics at our cheer stations.
