Grantchester Charity Runs: Sunday Sept 27th, 2026
The Grantchester Charity Runs are delighted to welcome back Dartington Wealth Management as their 2026 10k sponsor. The 10k and 3k both run through attractive farmland adjacent to Grantchester, just outside Cambridge. Importantly, there are no awkward road crossings in fact there are no road crossings at all! The courses are mixed terrain and predominantly flat.
Chip Timing for all, yes ALL, runners. Register for the 2026 Grantchester Charity Runs.
Parking – Available a short walk from the Start area. There is plenty of bike parking around the Registration area.
