The 10-mile ‘challenge’ route will take you on a stunning through Cambridge where you’ll pass some of the iconic landmarks it has to offer before you make your way back to venue.

The registration fee covers your event costs, we ask you to fundraise what you can to help Arthur Rank Hospice Charity.

As part of signing up for the walk, you will receive a technical t-shirt, a medal to take home with you, along with a hot drink and biscuits upon your return.

Yes, absolutely! Children between 10 – 15 years of age are welcome to register alongside a paying adult. 

There’s no dress code, we simply recommend wearing whatever you find comfortable to walk in. Each participant will receive their very own Star Shine t-shirt on the night and we very much encourage anything bright and wacky that will help set the City aglow!

The walk will go ahead come rain or shine, so do keep an eye on the forecast in the lead up to the event and come weather ready! 

We always like to set a challenge to ourselves, so this year we have a very ambitious target of £60,000. With your help, we are sure that we can smash that goal and make a huge difference to the lives of so many cared for by the Charity!

We’d love to see 600 participants setting the city aglow this year, so sign up now to be one of them!

All volunteers are enormously appreciated and help us to make the evening a success. Please get in contact with the Fundraising Team by emailing fundraising@arhc.org.uk or telephone 01223 675888 if you’d like to lend a hand.

You absolutely can! We welcome all well-behaved four legged friends on a lead who wish to join the walk with their owners! Dogs must remain outside at all times and please do make sure you pick up any toileting they do on route.

Although not compulsory, we really encourage you to fundraise. You can do this as a group if you sign up with family and friends, or individually.

We’ll give you lots of support with fundraising tips and help you set up an online fundraising page so it’s really easy to get started.

Your fundraising will help make a difference to the support people in Cambridgeshire living with an advanced serious illness or other life-limiting condition and those who need end of life care receive

We hope that you’ll be able to take part in either the 10 or 5-mile route, however, if you feel that those are unmanageable distances at this time and still want to be there on the night to show your support, then get in contact with fundraising@arhc.org.uk to volunteer to help out and marshal! 

Parking is available at Shelford Rugby Club. We do recommend car sharing where you can. 

Yes, please let one of the team know on the night and we will match you with someone else.
