The Steeple Barton Chase is an annual running event held at Barton Abbey in Oxfordshire. Located between Oxford and Banbury near the A4260, the event utilizes the grounds of the Abbey and the surrounding area to host several different distances.

The Family Fun Run is a drop-in activity that takes place around the cricket grounds. This specific segment allows individuals or family teams to accumulate laps at their own pace by walking, running, or strolling. All participants in the fun run receive a medal and a certificate, along with a record of their completed laps and total distance.

On-site facilities include refreshments, toilets, and free parking for attendees. The meeting point is situated within the Steeple Barton area of Bicester. All proceeds from the event are directed toward the maintenance of Steeple Barton Church. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
