“What I loved most about the day was having my fellow teammate, Roberto, run with me and support me even when I wanted to give up! I love that the Gearset values also apply outside of the office - very lucky to have such awesome people in and outside of work.” Beth, Gearset Teammember.
The Gearset runners took on the TTP Cambridge Half Marathon and made every step count. From training to crossing the finish line, it was an incredible effort!
Gearset would like to pass on a huge thanks to everyone who stopped by their stand — whether to chat, refuel, or rest those tired legs. It was a fantastic day to be part of!

To every single volunteer who helped make the TTP Cambridge Half Marathon 2025 possible—you are the true heroes of race day! 🏃♂️💙💛
From setting up in the early hours to keeping runners fueled, motivated, and safe along the course, we couldn’t do it without you. Your energy, dedication, and smiles made all the difference, and we are so grateful for your support.

It looks like we’re gearing up for a warm race day, with temperatures expected to reach 17 degrees! ☀️ Whilst it’s not quite tropical, it’s probably a lot warmer than the majority of your training conditions.
Here are a few tips to help you stay comfortable and hydrated:
1. Pre-Hydrate: Start drinking water the day before the race to ensure you`re well-hydrated. 2. Plan Your Hydration: Take a look at our Race Information document to see the drink station locations. You can use your own refillable bottle at these locations too! 3. Wear Breathable Clothing: Dress in moisture-wicking and breathable fabrics to help keep cool. 4. Use Sun Protection: Don’t forget sunblock, sunglasses, and a hat to protect yourself. 5. Listen to Your Body: Pay attention to signs of dehydration. If you feel dizzy or overly tired, slow down and rehydrate. 6. Arrive on time and stay relaxed!
