Sport at Oxford
The University of Oxford has a strong tradition of sporting excellence; consistently at the forefront of sporting endeavour and nurturing numerous record-breaking athletes. At Oxford we believe that sport is complementary to our academic mission, helping our students develop the life skills, confidence and wellbeing to succeed in study, society and within the workplace, whether they are an Olympian or an enthusiast.
In order to continue this tradition, and to provide students, staff, and the local community with opportunities to develop their sports, fitness and wellbeing, we need your support.
Sir Roger Bannister Athletics Track
The Sir Roger Bannister Athletics Track at Iffley Road has been in existence since 1876 and is the site where famously, Sir Roger Bannister first broke the four-minute mile in 1954. Your gift will allow the University to redevelop the track and make its surroundings accessible for disabled athletes. Thank you for supporting this iconic facility. For more details please do get in touch.
Active at Oxford
Gifts towards the Active at Oxford unrestricted fund will go towards a variety of areas, from facilities and equipment, to clubs and coaching.

It will also help support our growing accessible sports programme; for more details please do get in touch.
