RUNNERS can save money as they get on their marks to enter this year’s Oxford Half Marathon.

Oxford Mail readers have a week left to get a special £2 discount for this year’s 13-mile course.

The fourth Oxford Half Marathon will see runners snake through the city on the route, which starts and finishes at Oxford United’s Kassam Stadium on Sunday, October 12.

Early entries get £2 off the price, which stands at £30 for the public and £28 for UK Athletics club members.

This year’s race will be organised by Mark Taylor, who has directed the Bath Half Marathon since 2000.
