Grantchester Charity Runs

Join a true community celebration of running at the Grantchester Charity Runs on Sunday, September 27, 2026, a beloved local event offering a perfectly scenic 10k and a family-friendly 3k through the beautiful farmland adjacent to historic Grantchester, near Cambridge. Both traffic-free, mixed-terrain courses are predominantly flat and fully chip-timed, providing an ideal setting for a personal best or a relaxed, enjoyable run amidst quintessential English countryside. This heartfelt event is renowned for its welcoming, inclusive atmosphere, fantastic post-race refreshments, and its powerful dual purpose of raising vital funds for Maggie's Cancer Support Centre and Addenbrooke's Charitable Trust's Cambridge Cancer Research Hospital. With a lively schedule including a pre-race warm-up, an ice cream van, and trophies for winners, the day is designed as a festive gathering for runners of all ages and abilities, underscored by a deep commitment to local causes. Your participation not only earns you a commemorative medal but directly contributes to providing compassionate cancer support and pioneering research, adding profound meaning to every step. Secure your spot for a late-September Sunday where your run through the fields makes a real difference, surrounded by the charm and community spirit of Grantchester.
