Oxford Squash Club - Fun Run Fundraiser!

The Oxford Country classic is Squash Oxford's only way of fundraising and without this the club would struggle to make ends meet. The subscriptions would nearly have to double! Marelne King, member, got this underway herself. Being a 21k walker herself, she thought that Oxford needed a half marathon event and it would be a good way to raise funds for Squash Oxford club. 18 years later, she is still organising it. There is a lot of organising to do not only on the day but before hand. She relies on sponsorship for the main prizes and spot prizes as the club has no money behind it for doing this. The half-marathon is run on a scenic course around Oxford with a couple of small hills. The 3 distances start and finish at the courts.
