The 10k and 5k are officially measured UKA road race courses. The 10k route has little elevation and passes through the High Street of Great Abington, past the village recreation ground, across the River Granta, through Little Abington and back into Granta Park to finish in front of the TWI plane. The 5k is entirely within Granta Park, consists of two laps and finishes in front of the TWI plane. The 2k Fun Run follows a traffic free route through the park and is described as suitable for all ages, buggies and wheelchairs.
Practical details include free parking, on site marshals, water stations, chip timing and on site first aid. Top finishers receive trophies and mugs while all finishers receive a sustainable medal. Teams may enter the 5k and 10k with the top three runners counting towards a combined team time. Age limits apply: 10k minimum age 15, 5k minimum age 11, 2k minimum age 2.
