About the Event

The Northstowe Festival of Running is more than just an athletic competition; it's a vibrant celebration that brings together runners, families, and the entire community.

The Family Mile is designed specifically to introduce young ones to the joy of running in a fun and supportive environment. It's not just about crossing the finish line; it's about sharing moments with loved ones while exploring Northstowe’s charming landscapes together.
When you’re not on the track, there are numerous attractions at the festival venue that promise entertainment for all ages. Enjoy delectable street food from local vendors as well as refreshing drinks to keep your energy up throughout the day. Browse through handcrafted goods and unique items available at craft stalls or watch engaging displays showcasing community talents.
The Northstowe Festival of Running also features outdoor activities, ensuring there’s never a dull moment for those who prefer staying active even when they’re not racing. The live music stage adds to the festive atmosphere with performances that cater to all tastes, making it an event you won’t want to miss!

Scenic view of

Cambridge is a university city in Cambridgeshire in England. It is a city of crocuses and daffodils on the Backs, of green open spaces and cattle grazing only 500 yards from the market square. Cows sometimes wander into the market area, since they are not fenced in. The Cambridge of Brooke, Byron, Newton and Rutherford, of the summer idyll of punts, 'bumps', cool willows and May Balls is worth seeing.
