OXFORD Classic Community 5k
About this race
Welcome to the 34th Annual Oxford Classic! This meet has become one of Central Oregon’s longest-running and most competitive cross country traditions. Each year it brings together teams from across the region for a high-level mid-season competition. For the first time, we are excited to add a Community 5k — open to everyone who wants to be part of the action!
The Oxford Classic will be held at Drake Park in Bend, Oregon. The course follows a loop through the park along the scenic Deschutes River, featuring a mix of grass and paved pathways. It is flat and fast, with wide stretches designed to accommodate pack racing and plenty of areas for spectators to cheer.
