This will be the fifth year of staging the Saucony Cambridge Half Marathon after it was launched in 2012. The 2016 event sees a new one-lap course and increased entry capacity over all previous years, meaning that it will be the biggest and best yet!

Competitors will receive all the elements you would expect from a high profile city centre running event, including online registration, chip timing, UKA certified distance, on course entertainment, professional event medical cover, high quality medals and goodie bags!

The Course

The course will be a new one-lap loop starting on Victoria Avenue, with Midsummer Common being the main event hub. It will head through the centre of Cambridge; past the Round Church, Kings College, Fitzwilliam Museum and along The Backs. The new section will see runners head out of the city along Trumpington Road, through Grantchester and back into the city along the Barton Road.

Event Charity - Cancer Research UK

Run for Cancer Research UK and become part of a unique team dedicated to detecting and beating cancer. This year’s fundraising added to the previous years and topped £500,000 – a fantastic achievement!

The event will be supporting Cancer Research UK, which is the world's leading charity dedicated to saving lives through research. They receive no government funding and rely on people like you to help fund their groundbreaking work into preventing, diagnosing and treating cancer.

People's chances of surviving cancer has doubled in the past 40 years, however, more than one in three of us will still get cancer at some point.
