Park & Ride sites around Cambridge are the recommended option if you are travelling from outside the city. They offer large car parks on the outskirts with frequent bus services into the city centre.
This is a special service that ensures all athletes arrive at the event site before the event begins.
Pre-purchasing tickets online is strongly recommended.
When Will I Receive My Tickets?
Park & Ride tickets will be issued as QR codes, which must be presented when boarding the Event Day service. You will receive your codes via email from 'TTP Cambridge Half Marathon' on 25 February (for purchases up before 23 February) or 27 February purchases made by 26 February.
Event Service Information
Tickets are £8 when purchased in advance, and £12 on the day of the event.
Departing Buses: 07:00 – 08:30*
Returning Buses: 11:00 – 15:00
*St Ives and Longstanton final bus will depart at 8.00AM.
Participants and supporters wishing to travel back to the Park & Ride sites after the final 15:00 departure can use their QR code tickets on the scheduled Park & Ride services.
