Lace up your trainers and join #TeamArthur!
As a Platinum Charity Partner of the Cambridge Half Marathon 2027, we're gearing up for our biggest and best year yet. On Sunday 14 March 2027, hundreds of runners will hit the streets of Cambridge to support local hospice care. Will you be one of them?
As a Charity Partner Arthur Rank Hospice Charity has already secured Charity Places for 2027 and registration is now OPEN. The registration fee is £24 and we ask for a commitment to raise £350.
If you are lucky enough to secure your own place in the run (when places go on sale in September) you can also choose to fundraise for Arthur Rank Hospice Charity. We will support you with fundraising tips, give you a #TeamArthur shirt to run in and link you up with all the runners.
If you’re interested in running for us and would like to ask any questions please contact our challenges team on Challenges@arhc.org.uk.
You can register for your place here.
The 13.1 mile route is mostly flat with fully closed roads. It showcases the best of what Cambridge city has to offer!
You can expect to take in many of Cambridge’s prestigious highlights.
The course guides you from Midsummer Common through town and the historic grounds of Kings College.
Travelling along with scenic River Cam views from the Backs, you will follow the road towards the picturesque village of Grantchester.
As you pass through Trumpington, you can expect to return into town passing the famous Cambridge monument, the Corpus Clock.
When you reach Bridge Street, around mile 12, you will see #TeamArthur supporters cheering you towards the finish. Finally, with the finish line in site, you will enjoy the grounds of Jesus College, before enjoying an overwhelming sense of achievement!
Take a listen to Mike Purse on BBC Radio Cambridgeshire, explaining his reasons for taking part:
Tricia, #TeamArthur challenger and Louise’s sisterThe care my sister received from Arthur Rank Hospice was truly remarkable. I take pride raising funds for those who need palliative care.
The Cambridge Half Marathon will take place on Sunday 14 March 2027.
There is a non-refundable Registration Fee of £24.
We ask for a commitment to raise £350 for Arthur Rank Hospice Charity.
If you have your own place, there is no minimum to raise.
You will receive a free #TeamArthur runners t shirt or vest to train and run in on the day – this is really good for others to ‘spot’ you so they can cheer you on and show their support.
There will be a team get together in the Autumn for all registered runners which will cover fundraising and what to expect on the day. It’s also a great opportunity to meet fellow runners.
Our Challenges Team can support you to fundraise also.
Sponsoring anyone who is running will help them to meet their fundraising target. Please let us know if you would like to donate to our Charity or support a runner.
We always have a team of ‘cheerleaders’ along the route. If you are not running come and join us to cheer the runners along!
All runners with a Charity Place will have their packs sent directly to the address they registered with unless they live overseas. In this case you will need to collect it from the organisers on the Friday or Saturday.
We ask you to use Enthuse, if possible. All details will be sent to you when you register. This means you will feel a sense of community and you can see the overall total raised by all #TeamArthur Runners. Please ask our challenges team for more information challenges@arhc.org.uk. Other fundraising platforms are available.
Yes! We love coming along to cheer on our runners. You can find us at two points, usually on the Chesteron Road by the Arundel Hotel and near The Mitre pub on Bridge Street. We’ll be there with our green pom poms and clappers.
On the day some 15,000 runners will be participating, we hope to have another team of 100+ #TeamArthur runners in 2027.
Your support helps to continue supporting people in Cambridgeshire living with an advanced serious illness or other life-limiting condition and those who need end of life care, thank you.
