The Oxford Half Marathon is a flat and fast 13.1-mile route through historic Oxford where runners will take to the cobbled streets of the city of dreaming spires.

Team Blue Cross will be running and fundraising to change the lives of thousands of sick, injured and homeless pets every year.

Since 1897, Blue Cross has changed pets lives and the lives of the people who love them. Pets are devoted to people and teach us how to be better human beings. They deserve all the love, kindness and respect we can give them. So its our aim to protect and care for vulnerable pets without judgment, to speak out for them, to help those who care for them, and to show the world how to treat pets with dignity and compassion.

Blue Cross change lives. For pets, for people, for life. And project this through everything they do. 'We believe that all pets and their people should be able to enjoy lifelong care and support, and we wont rest until that goal becomes reality.'
