The 10-mile ‘challenge’ route will take you on a stunning walk out through Grantchester as it leads you into the centre of Cambridge where you’ll pass some of the iconic landmarks it has to offer before you make your way back to the Rugby Club.

The shorter 5 mile route will be a more localised route from the Rugby Club taking in some lovely tree lined streets along the way.

The two walks will, however, start and end along the same route.

Early-bird fees (up to and including 5 May)

Adult (ages 16 years and over)- £14
Child (ages 10-15 years) – £7.60

Standard fees (6 May – 19 June)

Adult (age 16 years and over) – £17.50 
Child (ages 10-15 years) – £9.50

On the day fee 

Adult (age 16 years and over) – £20
Child (ages 10-15 years) – £10

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

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 £50,000. 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 500 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.

We know it can sometimes be a bit daunting asking others for sponsorship and therefore fundraising is not compulsory, but is certainly encouraged. Any funds that you do raise will go towards helping someone going through a very tough time in their life.

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! 

The 20% discount will end on Sunday 14 April 2024 – so book your place now, before you forget! 

There will be plenty of parking available on the night at the Rugby Club, however 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.
