More than 600 fundraisers are ready for this year’s OX5 Run, which is returning to Blenheim Palace.

For the past two years due to the pandemic there was a ‘virtual run’, and fundraisers raised about £100,000 last year.

On Sunday, the five-mile run, which raises funds for Oxford Children’s Hospital, will take place in the grounds of the Woodstock stately home.

This five-mile run raises really important funds which are used across the hospital and other children’s areas across our NHS trust – making such a difference to thousands of young patients.
