Cambridge Biomedical Campus 10k, 5k and Fun Run
The Cambridge Biomedical Campus hosts a series of running and walking events on a traffic-free course. The event utilizes the campus grounds and the surrounding area of Hobson Park, offering a closed-road environment for participants. The 5k and 10k races are chip-timed, while the 1 mile fun run provides a shorter option for younger participants.
The available distances include:
- 10 km run (two laps)
- 5 km run or walk (one lap)
- 1 mile fun run (three-lap campus course)
The route is designed to be accessible and is suitable for both wheelchairs and running blades. Participants should note that the pathways within Hobson Park contain a layer of gravel. The event serves as a fundraiser for several local organizations, including the Addenbrooke's Charitable Trust, Maggie’s, and the Royal Papworth Charity. A portion of every entry fee is donated to these causes.
The 1 mile fun run is free for all participants, though children under the age of eight must be accompanied by an adult. Participants under the age of 17 can also enter the 5 km or 10 km distances for free. Minimum age requirements are in place for the longer distances, with the 5 km open to those aged 11 and over, and the 10 km open to those aged 15 and over.
Sustainable transport is encouraged, with local bus and bicycle routes serving the campus. Parking options include free facilities at nearby Park and Ride locations or paid parking on the campus itself. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
