Fundraise For Us

Run for The Theatre - Oxford Half Marathon 12 October 2025

We have 10 charity spaces for the Oxford Half Marathon on 12 October 2025.

Be part of our first ever Theatre Team for this iconic event and bring a bit of Chippy magic to the Oxford Half!

The fast and flat Oxford Half takes runners through the winding streets of historic Oxford. The route begins in the city centre and passes through the stunning sites of Old Marston village, the River Cherwell, Oxford University’s impressive Lady Margaret Hall, before finally finishing on Parks Road.

Fundraisers are asked to pay a registration fee of £20 to confirm your place and commit to raise at least £200 in sponsorship for The Theatre. We will support you with fundraising pages, ideas and encouragement. You will also receive a Chippy Theatre running vest for the event, and our enormous gratitude.

This event has sold out for the last two years so running for The Theatre is a great way to test your running ability whilst supporting a local charity.

To secure a place please complete the Oxford Half 2025 Registration Form

or contact Katie at fundraising@chippingnortontheatre.com.
