Run Jericho started in 2011 and is organised by the St Barnabas Primary School Parent Teacher Association. It is a huge event that attracts people from Oxford and beyond. In 2025, the event raised a record-breaking £24,157.99 for the school and saw thousands of runners participate. This well-loved community event has certainly grown significantly from its humble beginnings and reflects the school’s message on inclusivity, healthy living and bringing the community together.
