About Ian Ashcroft

Ian, Alasdair and Hannah from LRE are running the Oxford Town and Gown on Sunday 27th June in support of Muscular Dystrophy UK. The race is a lovely scenic 10km route around the dreamy city of Oxford. We expect there will be a high level of competitiveness between these three (although they would never admit it) and so taking in their surroundings will not be on the agenda!

There are a lot of extremely worthwhile charities to donate to and this certainly is one of them. Muscular Dystrophy is a group of diseases which cause progressive weakness and loss of muscle mass. There is no cure or way to reverse any form of MD and this fantastic charity provides support and advice to people with this condition and to their families.

We would be extremely grateful for any amount you can spare. The 'gazelles' are currently in training after a long old winter - are we even out of it yet?! I hear Ally had a successful run in the torrential rain this week, Ian is using the hills in Blenheim to train and Hannah, the one we've got my money on, is in the gym for a good few hours a day.

Thanks so much in advance for your support.

Fundraising Information

This fundraising page benefits the following good cause:


Muscular Dystrophy UK

"Muscular Dystrophy UK is the charity for the 70,000 people living with muscle-wasting conditions in the UK. We bring together people affected by more than 60 rare and very rare progressive muscle-weakening and wasting conditions. Muscle-wasting conditions are very rare, affecting just over one in every 1,000 people. As a result, some health professionals may never come across anyone with a muscle-wasting condition and may not know much about them. But we do. Since 1959, we’ve been supporting families living with muscle-wasting conditions. We provide vital information, advice, resources and support for people with these conditions, their families and the professionals who work with them."

This year, the Oxford Town and Gown 10k is taking place on Sunday 27 June 2021 (postponed from its original date in May). We made this decision with the health and wellbeing of everyone in mind, in light of the current COVID-19 situation.

We’re working with event and safety specialists to deliver a COVID-secure event, for full information on this see our Race Guide 

An unfortunate consequence of the event date change is that we are having to remove the Junior 3k. We are working on alternative dates for the Junior 3k and will provide a further update soon.

All entries for 2021 will be secured with our covid policy, for more information visit our FAQ section on www.townandgown10k.com/oxford 

About Oxford Town and Gown

Oxford Town and Gown is the oldest run in the series. It started in 1982 by local runners as a fun run to raise funds for muscular dystrophy and still to this day all profits from the race go to Muscular Dystrophy UK (MDUK).

2021 will be the 40th race for the run which now attracts up to 6,000 runners every year – including serious athletes, the casual runner and fun runners. The unique route is the only closed-road City Centre 10k in Oxford with a glorious stretch along the River Cherwell and finish in the University Parks. In 2019, the run was awarded Best 10k in South England by the Running Awards.
