Do race proceeds go to charities?

Since 2003, the Oxford ADT Running Club, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, has donated over $47,000 to various local and national charities.

This year we will be donating to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training - Southern Ohio Chapter and Oxford Area Trail System (OATS), along with various other local charities.

Are there handicap parking spaces close to the start/finish area?

Yes, the area around the Uptown Parks is closed to normal traffic before and during the race .  It is used by only a few people like race officials, the race photographer, etc.   This is also where we accommodate people with handicaps.   The best thing is for you to come early before it gets too crowded, so it will be easier to help you get through a barricade and parked.   You will need to enter from the Church and Main street side of the park.   Turn south onto Main Street off of Church Street.   If you need assistance, please let somebody in the volunteer and information booth know, which is also located on the same side of the park.

In addition, there will be a couple of handicapped portolets in the park.  And, the Elms hotel, which is nearby has a ramp and access to restroom facilities.
