Bridge the Gap

Standard adult registrations are £22.50

Up to three under 16s go free with every registered paying adult, but don’t forget you can book a Treasure Hunt for them to enjoy for just £3 per child.

Due to the nature of the event, we can only welcome assistance dogs.

All the proceeds from the event are split equally between Arthur Rank Hospice Charity and Romsey Mill. 

We are so grateful for the support of everyone who takes part. Funds are raised through entry fees and generous donations made during registration.

A fundraising page will automatically be created for all participants on the online sponsorship platform, Enthuse, as part of the registration process and their name may be included on a public-facing event page. Please read our Privacy Notice and Event Terms and Conditions for information about how we use your personal data and administer the event. This fundraising page can be removed on request by emailing fundraising@arhc.org.uk (please allow up to 2 working days for your request to be actioned)

We have 6 colleges featuring on this years route: Jesus College, St John’s College, Trinity College, Gonville and Caius College, Queens’ College and Downing College. 

We are grateful to the Colleges and their teams of Porters for generously granting us access, and for their enthusiastic support of the event.

We’ve worked with these Colleges to create interesting and varied routes through them – please follow the directions of marshals and don’t stray from the route or attempt to enter/exit at points other than those shown on the map. 

Please bring proof of your registration, either on a device or printed.

In our ongoing commitment to sustainability, we won’t be offering water bottles this year. Please bring your own (filled) reusable water bottles. 

It’s advisable to be prepared for hot weather (hats and suncream) and rain (raincoats and umbrellas) as we’ll carry on, whatever the weather!

You might like to bring a picnic blanket to enjoy the entertainment on Parker’s Piece more comfortably.

Bridge the Gap couldn’t run without the amazing support from our volunteers and we are always looking for further support. 

If you’d like to help at this years event, we’d love to hear from you. A full briefing is given so no past experience needed.

Please email us at events@arhc.org.uk

The two charity partners, Arthur Rank Hospice Charity and Romsey Mill, offer essential support and care to people throughout Cambridgeshire.

If you feel that you are unable to take part in the walk this year but still want to be there to show your support, you can put yourself forward as a volunteer by emailing fundraising@arhc.org.uk.

We need everything from marshals to cake bakers, registration helpers to refreshments servers. If you think you can help us, do reach out – we’d love to have you! 

• We take responsibility to care for the environment seriously, so we ask you to car share, use the buses or cycle wherever possible to our events.
• Because of our commitment to the environment, we’re moving away from selling single-use items and ordering things from overseas. We will continue to sell items we already had in stock from previous events.
• We ask you to bring your own reusable water bottle to our events– we can supply water, but do not have a stock of bottles at the events – but you can buy these from any of our shops.

You can find out more about how environmental sustainability is very important to the Charity, and why the Charity’s five-year strategy is working towards a net zero carbon approach here: arhc.org.uk/about-us/our-organisation/our-green-ways

The first wave will set off at 9:30am and will then be every 15 minutes until the final wave sets off at 10.30am. You will be asked to select your starting wave when booking. You can take your time to look around the Colleges. Each College will close once the last participant passes through and the events on Parkers Piece will close at 2:00pm. 

Yes, The Society of Cambridge Tourist Guides will be on the route to provide you with interesting information and the history behind the colleges.
