Get Ready to Run!
The Cambridge Half Marathon is back, bringing runners from near and far to the scenic streets of Cambridge, just a short hop from Hamilton. Whether you're aiming for a personal best or simply enjoying the stunning views, this event offers something for everyone.
This year the Half Marathon course will feature two loops of a picturesque, mostly flat course - passing the beautiful trees the town is known for. Other race distances include a one-loop Quarter Marathon (10.7km) option, a 5km loop option and a 2km kids dash. It is a great day out for all levels of fitness.
Finish with a sense of achievement, a shiny medal, and maybe a well-earned coffee from a coffee cart.
See you at the start line!
