Story

We’re the new title partner of the Town & Gown 10K races in both Oxford and Cambridge as part of a three-year partnership with Muscular Dystrophy UK (MDUK). We will have teams running the 10K in both the Oxford and Cambridge event.

With a successful Oxford event now taken place, it is the turn of Cambridge. The Cambridge team are a mix of beginners and experienced runners and include:

Emma Gray; Darryl Wilkins; Matt King; Annabel Osman; Matt Allen; Alistair Blackmore; Thomas Handy; Edward Gardiner; James Galloway; Alex Stephenson; Elena Campbell; Sam Coles; Max Bryan; Iona Thomas; Sam Charman; Emily Jubb; Iain Hill; James Wood; Roland Bull; Rob Love; Ben Lee; Catie Magrath; James Godden; Will Skingsley; Charlie Boyle; Alice Mcguire; Jon Smith-Willis

MDUK is a national charity supporting those living with a muscle-wasting condition.

The Bidwells Cambridge Town and Gown 10k will take place Sunday 15 October 2023. It is a closed-road city centre 10k in Cambridge through the centre of Cambridge, with a section along the River Cam and finishing on Midsummer Common.

Senior Partner at Bidwells, Nick Pettit, said: “We’ve committed to a long-term partnership with MDUK because we were blown away by the brilliant work the charity does. With our head office in Cambridge and a rapidly growing business in Oxford, the well-established Town & Gown runs in both cities and are a perfect way for us to support MDUK and the communities we live and work in.

“We’re absolutely committed to making the Bidwells Town & Gown runs the best they can be, so we’ll be devoting the time, energy and resources to this partnership in order to make a real difference to the work of MDUK.”

Krishan Solanki, Head of Events and Regional Development said: “We are delighted that Bidwells will be the new title partner for MDUK’s historical annual race. The race is a great opportunity for the community in Oxford, Cambridge and surrounding areas to come together and show their support for MDUK.

“Bidwells has been active in the region for more than 180 years and are strongly associated with both Oxford and Cambridge, so they are a great fit for this partnership. A huge thank you to them for pledging to support both the races and people living with muscular dystrophy. We’re looking forward to working with them over the coming years and are excited to see what we can achieve together.”
