If the new year has inspired you to start or return to running, please consider joining us at the Town and Gown in May!
The annual Oxford Bidwells 10k (formerly the Town and Gown) is a much-loved fixture in the city’s and school’s calendar, and we’re delighted to be taking part once again. This year, we’ll be raising funds for our partner school in Uganda, Mustardseed School — a cause very close to our hearts and one that continues to inspire generosity across our community.
Opened in 2022, Mustardseed School provides an inspirational and practical education for young children in Uganda and now educates more than 180 pupils. In 2025, thanks to events such as the Oxford 10k, we raised over £11,000 for the school. This was generously matched by Sir Vernon Ellis (OW 1966), who continues to support MCS and Mustardseed.
If you’d like to join us, and run to raise funds for Mustardseed, please enter our team name MCS2026 when registering online.
