Location: Oxford, England

Discover the scenic University Parks and Great Meadow Loop, a delightful 4.8 km run through the heart of Oxford. This gentle, flat route takes you around the picturesque University Parks, past Lazenbee's Pond, and follows the tranquil river, offering charming waterside views. You’ll cross High Bridge and skirt some of Oxford's historic college grounds before rejoining the river for a smooth return.

As a fully paved, flat loop with no ascent, it's ideal for convenient, consistent training runs, recovery jogs, or a leisurely sightseeing experience. While enjoying the urban greenery, remember to check the seasonal opening times for University Parks, as they vary throughout the year.
