Pro tips
- 01
Even Pace, No Hills
The profile is flat, so there are no climbs to save energy for and no descents to recover on. Settle into goal pace early and hold it; this loop rewards even splits.

Cold March Start
Typical race-day temperature is 6.9C, so dress for a cold start and wear layers you can shed once you're moving. Early March in Cambridge rarely feels mild.

One Loop, One Viewing Spot
The route loops around the city and starts and finishes next to the Cambridge Holiday Inn Express, so spectators get their best view at the start and finish, not mid-course.

Club-Run Feel
Organized by Cambridge University Hare & Hounds and run annually since 1949, this is a low-key club event rather than a big-city marathon, so expect a small, spread-out field.
