North Oxford Road Closures:
The Oxford Half Marathon is on Sunday 13 October 2024. The event has sold out in record time with 13,000 entries, many of whom will be fundraising for local and national charities.
The route remains very similar to 2023 with road closures in your area. We are working with Oxfordshire County Council as the Highways authority and emergency services and every effort is being made in the route planning to minimise the disruption caused.
Please find attached the road closures and the course map document. Please note the following:
- The majority of road closures will be in operation from 08.00 on Sunday 13 October and will re-open once runners have passed by and it is safe and feasible to do so, with the first roads reopening from 11:00. Most roads will be re-opened by 14.30.
- Broad Street (between Turl Street and Magdalen Street East) will close on Sat 12 October at 08:00. The rest of Broad Street, Museum Road and Parks Road (between Holywell St and South Parks Road) will then close from 18:00 on Sat 12 October until 18:00 on Sun 13 October for the installation and de-rig of the start and finish areas.
- Restricted local access will be in operation in Norham Manor, Summertown and Marston – specific details are on the attached leaflet/course map.
- Residents within the Norham Manor (NM) CPZ will be able to park west of Banbury Road in North Oxford (NX) CPZ from Sat 12 Oct evening to Sun 13 October evening.
- Parking suspensions will be in place on the roads indicated in the attached document. Advanced notices of these will be installed in the days prior, indicating where these are and exactly what times suspensions are in place.
- Advanced warning signs will be installed two weeks prior to the event to provide closure information.
- Please do allow extra time for your journey, and where possible, avoid driving in the area during the closures. If you do need your vehicle during Sun 13 October please consider parking on alternative roads outside of the road closures.
- Emergency service and pedestrian access will not be affected.
