About the event

Date: Sunday 14 March 2027
Location: Cambridge
Distance: Half Marathon (13.1 miles)

Run past Cambridge's most famous landmarks, college courtyards and stunning countryside along this scenic route. You'll be carried by the amazing support of the city - with musicians, cheer zones and spectators lining the course. The flat course is perfect for first-timers and PB chasers alike.

General entries have sold out, so the only way to run this popular event is through a charity place.

By taking on this challenge you will be helping us to save sight and change lives. Go behind the scenes at a Cardiff Lab to discover how we're helping scientists discover new treatments that could one day stop sight loss.
