The Cambridge Cambourne 10k appeals to runners of all levels: from new runners to the more experienced. The distance is long enough to be challenging, but short enough to be accessible to anyone with the determination to put in a bit of training.

This year the Cambridge Cambourne 10k is introducing a brand new 5k course: ideal for those runners who prefer a shorter distance or those looking for a fun achievable challenge without the extra mileage.

Its sister event, the Cambridge Cambourne Fun Run - about 1 mile (1.6km) - is ideal for younger runners or those not ready for the longer distance.

Competitors from outside the local area can take this opportunity to have a first-class run in great scenery in the morning and take time out to visit the beautiful, historic City of Cambridge in the afternoon.

The event takes place mostly on the trails around Cambourne and welcomes all ages from 15 years upwards for the 10k, and from 5 years (with adult accompaniment) for the Fun Run. There will be water stations at 5k and at the finish.

Accurate chip-timing, medals for all finishers and prizes for the fastest runners are on offer.

The event will support the local community through charitable donations.

This year the race is being sponcered by Peningtons!
