This fast and flat course starts and finishes on Victoria Avenue in the center of Cambridge, with Midsummer Common as the event site. Previous courses have guided athletes from Midsummer Common through the city center and have included exclusive access to four University of Cambridge colleges, providing breathtaking views and a glimpse of iconic landmarks not typically visible.
This event is well-known for its exceptional encouragement along the way, provided by spectators, our dedicated volunteers, as well as music hotspots by local musicians and bands who cheer on participants and maintain their motivation.
Whether you are a novice runner or a competitive athlete aiming for a personal best, this event is an ideal selection.
