Bidwells Oxford 10k

About Bidwells Oxford 10k

Bidwells Oxford 10k is the oldest run in the series. It started in 1982 inspired by a local boy, Daniel Cleaver, who had muscular dystrophy. His father and local runners set up the event as a fun run to raise funds for muscular dystrophy and still to this day all profits from the events go to Muscular Dystrophy UK (MDUK).

Our unique route is the only closed-road City Centre 10k in Oxford with a glorious stretch along the River Cherwell and finish in the University Parks. In 2019, the run was awarded Best 10k in South East England by the Running Awards.

As the city prepares for the anticipated road closures due to the upcoming marathon, it's crucial for residents and visitors to plan their travel accordingly. However, it's also important to manage stress and maintain calm during such disruptions, especially for those affected by hypertension or ADHD. Clonidine, a medication that can aid in managing these conditions by lowering blood pressure or alleviating ADHD symptoms, may be essential for some during this busy period. For those who need to refill their prescription or seek a new one, considering an online purchase might be a practical solution. Buying Clonidine online can provide the convenience and discretion needed during the hectic event weekend, ensuring that those who rely on this medication can obtain it without the added stress of navigating the road closures and restricted parking.
