Annual 10k and 3k runs – a message from the Cricket Club:
We are pleased to announce that the much-loved Grantchester Charity 10k and 3k Run will take place on Sunday 28th September 2025, commencing at 10:30am in the beautiful surroundings of Cantelupe Farm, Grantchester (CB3 9ND).
Organised by Grantchester Cricket Club, this event has long been recognised as the prettiest and friendliest run in Cambridgeshire. It will support two vital causes: ACT (Addenbrooke’s Charitable Trust) and Maggie’s Centre Cambridge.
We warmly encourage you to participate—whether by running the 10k or 3k, volunteering your assistance on the day, or supporting from the sidelines. Runners will receive medals and post-run refreshments, and there will be special edition T-shirts available for purchase (£10.50 + fee).
👉 Registration is now open at:www.Grantchester10k.org
With the support of the Cambridge Independent, and convenient parking nearby, we look forward to welcoming you to what promises to be another memorable and uplifting community event.
