Cambridge Half Marathon
The Robin Hood Half Marathon is one of the longest established and most popular city centre road events in the UK. It's a picturesque route...
This fast and flat course starts and finishes on Victoria Avenue in the centre of Cambridge, with Midsummer Common as the event site. Previous courses have guided athletes from Midsummer Common through the city centre and have included exclusive access to four University of Cambridge colleges, providing breath-taking views and a glimpse of iconic landmarks not typically visible.
This event is well-known for its exceptional encouragement along the way, provided by spectators, our dedicated volunteers, as well as music hotspots by local musicians and bands who cheer on participants and maintain their motivation.
Whether you are a novice runner or a competitive athlete aiming for a personal best, this event is an ideal selection.
Registration fee: £25
Minimum fundraising target: £250
Every £60 you raise could pay for a family to stay overnight in one of Young Lives vs Cancer’s Homes from Home, providing free self-catering accommodation near to specialist children’s cancer treatment centres, which are often many miles from a family’s own home. Staying in a Home from Home ensures a family can be close to their child during treatment.
We love our runners, and we want them to have an awesome experience! Some of the benefits of joining our team are:
When a child is diagnosed with cancer it threatens everything, for them and their family.
At a time when they should be busy being children, enjoying their rollercoaster teenage years or finding their feet at uni, life becomes full of fear. Fear of treatment, but also of families being torn apart, of overwhelming money worries, mental health stretched to breaking point, of having nowhere to turn, no one to talk to.
At Young Lives vs Cancer, we get that. We are the charity that helps children and young people and their families find the strength to face whatever cancer throws at them. But every day 12 more children and young people hear the devastating news they have cancer. We’ll face it all together – but we can’t do it without you.
