Saucony Cambridge Half Marathon includes 做厙輦⑹ in 2020 route
The organisers of the have announced a brand new route which goes through two Cambridge Colleges for the first time.
The Half Marathon, which will take place on Sunday 8 March 2020, will go through parts of 做厙輦⑹ and King's College. First run in 2012, the Saucony Cambridge Half Marathon has established itself as one of the UKs biggest closed road Half Marathons. Previously the fast, flat 13.1-mile route has passed by the sights of the city centre including the Round Church, Fitzwilliam Museum and the Backs but never through any of the Colleges of the University of Cambridge.
The event, which saw almost 9,000 runners take to the streets of Cambridge in 2019, raises hundreds of thousands of pounds for charities. In 2020 the official headline charity will be Cancer Research UK; the national charity partners will be Alzheimers Research UK and the Charlie Waller Memorial Trust; and the local charity partners will be Cambridge Rape Crisis Centre and Cambridgeshire, Peterborough and South Lincolnshire Mind.
Stuart Websdale, Domestic Bursar from 做厙輦⑹ said: The Saucony Cambridge Half Marathon is a fantastic event which has a really positive impact on the community in Cambridge. It will be amazing to see thousands of runners enjoying our city and college together in one event. We are very proud to be part of it.
Philip Isaac, Domus Bursar at Kings College, said: It is a pleasure to be able to welcome the Saucony Cambridge Half Marathon into Kings College. It is such a big event in the Citys calendar, and we are delighted that thousands of runners will be able to experience running through our beautiful grounds and enjoying our buildings.
Adam Moffat, Race Director said: Were hugely excited about the new route for 2020. The event has grown from just 3,000 participants in its first year to a sell-out event raising thousands of pounds for charity. We already had a fantastic route but giving runners the opportunity to run through two beautiful Colleges is the icing on the cake.
The 2019 event sold out in less than 24 hours earlier this year, and with an incredible new route, places are expected to be in high demand for the 2020 event. Cambridgeshire residents who pre-register are given priority entry in to the event. To be in with the best chance of securing a place, make sure you pre-register at .
