Now in its 23rd year, the Abington Festival of Running has become one of Cambridgeshire's most-loved community road races — bringing together runners of all abilities on a flat, fast course through the stunning surroundings of Granta Park, Great Abington.
Organised by the community and for the community, every entry raises vital funds for Great Abington Primary School, supporting the children and families at the heart of this event.
Whether you're chasing a personal best on the UKA-licensed 10K or 5K, introducing a young runner to their first race with the 2K fun run, or simply soaking up the atmosphere — there's a place for you here.
Chip timing, a finisher's medal, water stations, and post-race refreshments are all available. All you need to do is run.
