Steeple Barton Chase

Steeple Barton, United Kingdom • 5 Oct 2025

Steeple Barton Chase is an annual running event held at Barton Abbey, halfway between Oxford and Banbury in Oxfordshire, UK, just off the A4260. The event offers multiple distances to suit all abilities: a 10-kilometre main race, a 5-kilometre option, and a Family Fun Run around the cricket grounds. The undulating course takes in country lanes, fields and woodland, including sections around the private Barton Abbey Estate—described by runners as challenging but enjoyable. Refreshments, toilets and free parking are provided, and proceeds go to maintaining Steeple Barton Church. Medals and certificates are awarded to all finishers, making it a friendly fundraising occasion. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
