Walking and Running for Fun

There are few places which are quite as enjoyable to walk or stroll through as Oxford’s University Parks. Granted, it is true to say that it has been considered a little too “quaint” for some people but, all together, there is a certain pleasantness to the place which is hard to match. We are, therefore, very happy, and honoured, to be able to invite you to a sponsored walk or run (depending on which you would rather do), which will be based at the Park.

The event will be hosted by the Oxford Rotary Club , and will take place in the morning of Saturday May 8th. Last year, over three hundred people took part and raised £1000's for local charities and causes in the process.

Officially, the two routes that are available are 2.5KM or 5KM long, (Editors note: which in proper measurements are about 1 and a half and 3 miles respectively), however, in practice, the day is very informal, with most of those who have chosen to walk being allowed to simply enjoy the route as they please. We will be happy to provide guides and helpers for anyone who would like one, while there will also be a barbeque available for everyone who takes part.

Of course, besides enjoying a great day out, we also hope to raise lots of funds for the cause as we do so.

Though there is no minimum sponsorship amount to enter, we do ask that everyone who comes along tries to raise as much as they can. Every penny raised will help to ensure that we can continue to improve our services: day to day, year to year.

If you would like to take part, or know a relative or friend who would like to, we ask that you may please contact the OAB team on 01865 725595 and ask for “Ben”.If you would prefer to email, the address is fundraising@oxeyes.org.uk

For those of you reading this outside of Oxford, please know that we are working on organising events like this outside of the City.

Thank you. We hope to see you on the day.
