Turn miles into smiles at the Oxford Half Marathon!

Returning on Sunday 15 October 2023, take part in the Oxford Half Marathon with Team EMPOWER and turn your miles into smiles. This beautiful route will take you through the cobbled streets of Oxford and past scenic sights such as the University Parks and the historical Oxford City Centre, the perfect challenge for any runner.

Why join Team EMPOWER?

Every three minutes a baby is born with a cleft which can lead to difficulties eating, breathing, hearing, and speaking. By supporting Smile Train and joining Team EMPOWER you will be raising funds which could help to provide children living with cleft access to a full range of cleft treatment services they would otherwise be unable to afford, and ultimately the opportunity of a healthy productive life.

How will we support you?

As part of Smile Train's Team EMPOWER we will support you all the way from registration through to the finish line by providing you with the following:

  • Smile Train fundraising pack
  • Team EMPOWER running vest
  • Regular emails with event and fundraising advice
  • Access to our online training hub
  • Opportunity to share your fundraising with local/national press
  • Certificate of appreciation
