Peloton has signed on as the Official Cross Training Equipment Partner of the 2026 Oxford Half Marathon, and has two run clubs at Peloton Studios London lined up ahead of the race.
The Oxford Half takes place on Sunday, October 11, 2026, on a flat course through the centre of the city. Peloton has set up a dedicated page for the partnership under the tagline “Half the marathon. Twice the fun.”
The first run club is an interval session on Tuesday, August 18, led by Susie Chan. Peloton describes it on the registration page:
“Join Peloton for a fitness-focused interval run designed to build the speed, strength, and stamina you need for race day. We will set off together from Peloton Studios London in the heart of Covent Garden and head to Green Park where we will commence some interval based drills and workouts, supported by our world-class Instructor Susie Chan.”
That session covers up to 8K with the studio as the start and end point. There are no pace groups for this one, though Peloton says designated pacers will be on hand throughout.
The second is on Wednesday, September 16, and will be a scenic route through Hyde Park with both 5K and 10K options, so runners can pick the distance that fits their training plan. Peloton has not named an instructor for it yet. Five pace groups will be available:
- Group 1 (10K): 50-60 minutes
- Group 2 (10K): 60-70 minutes
- Group 3 (5K): 25-30 minutes
- Group 4 (5K): 30-35 minutes
- Group 5 (5K): Walk + Run
For both events doors open at 5:00pm BST, check-in closes at 6:25pm, and the group departs in waves from 6:30pm after a warm-up. Bag drop is available, though shower facilities will be closed. Both are free and open to members and non-members alike, with registration and a signed waiver required.
There is a prize draw attached as well. Signing up for Peloton marketing emails through the Oxford page enters you to win a Cross Training Tread, with the draw closing on October 14, three days after the race.
This partnership is similar to Peloton’s previous one with the Hackney Half marathon. Peloton was the same Official Cross Training Equipment Partner title at the HOKA Hackney Half Marathon in May, built a landing page with a Tread prize draw, and held two PSL run clubs in the lead up. The second of those, on May 13, was also an interval run to Green Park covering up to 8K with no pace groups. Peloton then had instructors leading classes across race weekend itself, so there may be more to come for Oxford closer to October.
The August 18 run also lands the day before PSL’s regular monthly run club on August 19, a Carnival themed run with Hannah Frankson.
If you are interested in attending, you can register for the August 18 interval run or the September 16 run via their event pages, and you can find the full partnership details on Peloton’s Oxford Half page.
