Event day logistics
Race Packs
When you complete your entry, you will be offered the option to have your pack posted or to collect your pack in advance of race day (postage fee applies for standard entries) . Please note - there is NO race pack collection on the day of the race.
If you opt to collect, please ensure you can visit Midsummer Common on Friday 7 March 1-6pm or Saturday 8 March 10am-4pm. If you can't guarantee that you will be able to collect from Midsummer Common on the Friday or Saturday before the event, please select postage.
If you live outside of the UK mainland (including Channel Islands, Isle of Man and Northern Ireland), sorry but we are unable to post your race pack. Please either provide a mainland address or make arrangements to collect on the Friday or Saturday.
Event Village Facilities
Bag storage is available for day sized bags (a bag tag will be included in your race pack) but there are no changing facilities. There will be charity donation bins near the start line for you to discard any unwanted clothing items you wear to keep warm pre race. There will be catering units serving drinks and snacks on the Common. Toilets will be available across the Event Village (as well as at drink stations on the course)
Hydration & Nutrition
There will be four drink stations on the course providing water and HIGH5 gels. Water refill points will be available on Midsummer Common and at drink stations.
Race Start & Timing
The race starts at 9:30am but not all runners start at the same time. Runners are organised into waves depending on their estimated finish times. The first wave will leave at 9:30am and we anticipate the last one leaving approximately 30-60 minutes later. Your timing chip will capture your individual start and finish time. You will be emailed your race number and wave time approximately 7-14 days before the race (VIP entrants may start in the wave of their choosing, guidance on the appropriate wave for your estimated pace will be provided)
We recommend arriving at the event site at least one hour before your scheduled start time to ensure you're fully prepared. Make sure to be at the start area 20 minutes before your wave starts, to allow sufficient time for all runners to be organized into their respective waves. Please note, if you arrive after the final wave has been loaded, you will not be permitted to start the race.
Pacers
We are delighted to have a fantastic team of pacers supporting the event each year. We usually have pacers running at 1hr 30mins, 1hr 45mins, 2hrs, 2hrs 15mins, 2hr 30 mins and 2hr 45 mins. Most will have flags but all will be wearing pacer t-shirts so you can spot them
Para-athletes and wheelchair racers
We welcome everyone at our events but it is important to check your personal needs can be safely accommodated on this particular course and event site. Please contact us before entering to discuss your needs and we can advise.
Sorry but this event does not currently have a wheelchair wave (though we are looking at how we can add this in future). Standard chairs are welcome in the main field, however we highly recommend viewing the site and route first to assess suitability.
Cut Off
We want to support everyone to have a great race, but we are limited on how long we can close the roads in Cambridge and keep our volunteer marshals in place, so we will stop you if you are going to take longer than 3.5 hours. There will also be on course cut-off points that you must reach in time to be allowed to continue the event - these will be confirmed in the final Race Information but to provide an indication, for previous events you needed to reach 9.5 miles by 13:00 and 11.5 miles by 13:30, otherwise you would be asked to get into the Event Minibus to return to Midsummer Common.
Crowds
Spectator Info
Spectators can soak up the lively atmosphere at the Event Village, where they'll find a variety of hot drinks and snacks. With Midsummer Common as the central hub, your supporters can easily move between key points along the course to cheer you on, while also enjoying the amenities of the nearby city centre. Plus, an athlete tracker will be available so your family and friends can follow your progress throughout the race.
