Semi-Marathon de Northstowe

Step into the heart of Northstowe, an emerging community nestled just 30 minutes from Cambridge in England. This April, immerse yourself in the inaugural Northstowe Half Marathon, where nature and running converge to create an unforgettable experience.
The race course winds through a pristine landscape dotted with newly constructed homes, lush parks, and serene water bodies. As you run along this scenic route, expect minimal urban distractions—just peaceful surroundings that whisper encouragement as you push your limits over the 21.097 km loop in WaterParks. The low carbon footprint of the area complements its natural beauty, offering a breath of fresh air with every stride.
Whether aiming for a new personal best or simply enjoying the journey, runners are guaranteed an inspiring environment that supports all levels of performance. Locals line the route to cheer on participants regardless of their pace, fostering a warm and inclusive atmosphere. For those looking for shorter distances, there's also the "Tom’s Trust 5 km" event open to children aged 11 years and older.
Beyond the race itself, your participation contributes positively to Tom’s Trust, one of the UK’s leading charities dedicated to providing psychological support to young people with brain tumors and their families. Your efforts directly aid in making a difference for those facing challenging times.
Post-race festivities await at the event venue, complete with entertainment and camaraderie. For further exploration, venture into nearby towns like Longstanton or head straight to Cambridge, known for its rich history, prestigious university, museums, and iconic River Cam where you can enjoy traditional Fish & Chips while taking a punt ride.
Even if this April’s half marathon doesn’t fit your schedule, mark your calendars for the Northstowe Running Festival in August. It promises another chance to experience the charm of Northstowe and its welcoming community.
