2026 Grantchester Charity Runs: Sunday Sept 27th

The Grantchester Charity Runs offer 3k and 10k races on a Sunday in September at Addenbrooke's Hospital. While chip-timed for all participants, the event maintains a local, family-friendly atmosphere, organized by volunteers from the surrounding community. The courses feature mixed terrain and run without road closures, differing from a typical city race. Teams of four from schools and staffrooms are welcome to enter either distance, alongside individual runners. All finishers receive commemorative medals. Post-run refreshments are provided by the Lunchtime Company and the Red Lion in Grantchester, with the Java Coffee Club van present. Physios from Coach House Healthcare will also be available. The runs benefit two charities, following a year where organizers achieved record donations.
