Bidwells was proud to sponsor the Oxford Town & Gown 10k, held in support of Muscular Dystrophy UK. Over 6,000 runners took part in the city’s only closed-road race, raising vital funds for research and support services.

The event was opened by Christopher Pattison, Head of Bidwells' Oxford office, who addressed participants and shared the firm’s continued commitment to the cause. 

Bidwells Team Participation 

We congratulate all Bidwells staff who completed the race, including: 
Susanna Bowles, Neil Lawrence, Thomas Hyem, Caroline Rodger, David Parker, Jack Chivers, Edward Berridge, Victoria Hasson, Robert Love, Simon Irving MRICS, and Iain Powis. 

We also thank our volunteers and supporters who helped on the day: 
Jonathan Phillips, Maria Pereira, Dawn Evans, Beth Winstone, Fiona Parry, Darcey Whitlock, Martha Woodley, Jon Smith-Willis, Charlie Biggers, Laura Gould, Michael Lord, and Matt Allen.

An Historic Event 

Founded in 1982, the Oxford 10k is the oldest race in the Town & Gown series. It was inspired by Daniel Cleaver, a local boy with muscular dystrophy, and continues to donate all proceeds to Muscular Dystrophy UK. 

With its flat, fast course, the race attracts runners of all levels and offers a rare opportunity to run through Oxford’s historic centre and parks. 

Looking Ahead 

Bidwells looks forward to continuing its support at the Cambridge Town & Gown 10k in October.
