Run the Cambridge Half Marathon and support your local community.

Join the team running for a better Cambridgeshire

Run the Cambridge Half Marathon on Sunday 8 March 2026 to fundraise for the thousands of charitable causes that the Foundation supports across the county, ranging from homelessness and mental health, to the environment and more.

The funds raised will help us to continue supporting projects that improve the quality of life across Cambridgeshire, including tackling the inequalities and disadvantages that our community faces.

The stunning closed road route showcases the very best of our historic city of Cambridge, passing countless landmarks along the 13.1-mile course, running through the University of Cambridge colleges and out to the beautiful village of Grantchester. This fantastic flat course is great for both first timers and experienced runners looking for a PB.

Location: Midsummer Common, Cambridge
Cost: £10 early bird entry fee and £250 minimum fundraising pledge
Date: 08 March 2026
Time: AM
