Bridge the Gap

Early bird registrations are £18, but only available until 30 April, so book your tickets now!

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. All participants have the option to get additional sponsorship to take part in the walk, using the online sponsorship platform Enthuse. If you would like further information or support on this please email the fundraising team fundraising@arhc.org.uk

The colleges for 2025 will be revealed soon.

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.

Are you a UK taxpayer? Your donation can help us to raise even more vital funds for our services, at no extra cost to you.

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, then 10:00am and the final one at 10:30am. 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.
