Details of all our different entry packages including Charity and Business Challenge entries can be found here.
 
If you would like to make sure that you get emails about the 2026 entry process, please add yourself to our mailing list.
 

 
We are thrilled to share that every entry will now include the following:
 
• A prestigious, fast, and flat route
• On-course drink stations with nutrition

• A high-quality finisher bag
• Performance finishers T-shirt
 

 
In addition to the standard entry, your VIP entry will give you access to the VIP Marquee on event day. This is heated, has pre and post event food, post event massage, separate toilets and bag storage. Ahead of the event you will also receive a Cambridge Half Marathon training top.
 
Your Race Pack will automatically be posted to you (Except non-UK mainland addresses)
 
As a VIP, you will have a separate entry line and can start in any wave you like. You will not be allocated a wave in the start list. We will provide guidance on selecting the appropriate wave for your pace – this information will be on display in the VIP tent.
 

 
We have lots of charity partners for this event – last year our athletes raised over £600,000 for them. If you would like to race on their behalf, please contact them through the links on the Charity Page. They will be very happy to hear from you!
 
If your charity is not listed, and you have your own place, please feel free to raise money for any charity of your choosing. You can create an official Cambridge Half Marathon fundraising page via our partner GivenGain
 

 
17 years old on or before the event date.
 

 
We welcome athletes with disabilities but recommend you get in touch to talk through the suitability of the event if you are unsure. We do not currently have a wheelchair wave (though we are looking at how we can add this for future events) but standard chairs are welcome in the main field.
 

 
Sorry but running with a buggy is not allowed.
 

 
We have a range of items to complete your TTP Cambridge Half marathon experience including our clothing range from Huub, personalised mementos such as iTab medal inserts and Route Maps. You can access a free two week offer with Coopah, our training partner. You will also be able to purchase race photos after the event.
 
Clothing can still be purchased from HUUB at https://huubdesign.com/collections/cambridge-half-marathon
 
If you would like to add an iTab or Personalised Route Map you can do this by clicking on the Edit Booking button in your confirmation email and Purchase Add-Ons. You can also buy Park and Ride tickets this way if you did not buy them at entry.
 

 
Always! We can’t run our events without the help of our amazing team of volunteers. It’s a great way to be part of the event and the atmosphere if you don’t want to take part in the race itself, or find yourself injured. All our volunteers get food, a designated refreshment area, an event jacket and a guaranteed (discounted) entry for the following year.
 
We have a system called Rosterfy which we use to register all our volunteers. It will allow you to select your own job and will give you access to information about your role. Please follow the link on the volunteer page to sign up.
 
We are also always on the lookout for large groups to run feed stations and other areas that require a large number of volunteers, so if you are part of a running group, school, charity, knitting circle, sewing bee or just have a massive group of friends that would love to spend the day helping out, please get in touch with volunteers.events@teamwass.com and make our day!
 

 
Packs can be collected or posted however there is NO race pack collection on the day of the race. If you cannot collect from Midsummer Common on Friday or Saturday before the event, please select postage.

We send regular updates in the lead up to the event, including requests to update information. However, there are several reasons that athletes may not receive our emails.
 
We recommend that you check your junk folder regularly as emails can often get hidden in there. Please add us to your safe senders to stop this happening again.
 
If you do not receive a confirmation email from Let’s Do This, you may have mistyped your email address when you entered, or you may have entered the same email address for more than one entry. This will prevent us from sending you emails too. Please email us at info@cambridgehalfmarathon.com if you need to update this.
 
If you unsubscribe from our emails, or one bounces, this stops emails being sent. We can only resubscribe you if you email us with permission to info@cambridgehalfmarathon.com.

The event village and start line is on Midsummer Common, Victoria Avenue, Cambridge, CB4 1HA. If you live or choose to stay in central Cambridge, you can walk or jog to the start. We also have a free secure bike park on site for up to 1,000 bikes.
 
If you are driving to the event, we have a special Event Park and Ride service which runs earlier than normal and has drop off and collect points very close to the event village. You can book this in advance when completing your race entry or add after entry by clicking on the Edit Booking button in your confirmation email. Please note – tickets are required for each passenger (children under 5 travel free, sorry no concessions available). This service sells out each year so please book in advance. Tickets for Park & Ride are currently £6 per person – prices will increase as the event approaches, and they can no longer be included in your race pack.
 
We are using 7 sites around the city, St Ives & Longstanton which both come in along the guided busway express route, and the sites at Babraham Road, Milton, Trumpington, Newmarket and Madingley Road. Check the Bus Service Map HERE to find the best site for you.
 

 
Runners are organised into waves depending on their estimated finish times and the first wave will leave at 9:30 with the final one anticipated to be up to one hour later. If you need to update your estimated time, please click on the Edit Booking button in your confirmation email. Your personal race time will be recorded by your timing chip when you cross the start and finish.
 
We will email details of your race number and wave time approximately two weeks before the race. Please make sure that we have the correct email address for you and each entry has an individual email address as only one email can be sent to each address, so you may miss out on important information such as your race number.
 
We recommend getting to the event site an hour before your start time to give yourself time to prepare properly and arriving at the start area 20 minutes to allow time to load all runners into the wave. You can wear old clothing to keep warm and discard it into our bins for charity donation when you approach the start line. If you arrive after the final wave has been loaded, you will not be allowed to start the race.
 

 
Yes, there is. We want to support everyone to have a great race, but we also have limits on how long we can close the roads in Cambridge, so we will stop you if you are going to take longer than 3.5 hours. There will be on course cut-off points that you must reach in time to continue. These are 9.5 miles (Trumpington Road) by 13:00 and 11.5 miles (Silver Street junction) by 13:30.
 

 
Yes. We normally have pacers running at 1hr 30mins, 1hr 45mins, 2hrs, 2hrs 15mins, 2hr 30 mins and 2hr 45 mins. Most will have flags and all will be wearing pacer t-shirts so you can spot them.
 

 
Yes, there will be four drink stations with water, HIGH5 gels and toilets. There will also be water refill points on course and at the event village if you prefer to carry your own reusable bottle.
 

 
There will be a free bag drop available. Please look out for the biggest marquee on the site. There will be numbered bays, based on your race number. Please make sure you attach the numbered tag, from your race pack, to your bag before you get to your bay.
 
You can also wear old clothing to stay warm at the start line and discard it into one of the charity bins. We donate all this clothing to local charities.
 

 
There are lots of ways for businesses to get involved – you can become an event sponsor, a supplier or vendor. Unfortunately the Business Challenge has sold out for our 2025 event but you can still get in touch to be the first to hear about this offer for 2026.
