Race Information

Our Race Information contains everything you need to know to prepare for the event and ensure you have a fantastic day.

Please ensure that you read this, even if you have raced with us before as some details may have changed. In particular, please ensure you are familiar with the details about the Race Start. Your co-operation with this is essential to getting the race underway safely and on time. Once the final wave has left, you will not be able to start so please plan your arrival to avoid being late.

Key details are highlighted in the snippets, for quick reference. For pre race purchases e.g. Park & Ride tickets, official Cambridge Half Marathon clothing click here.
