More information...
Wimpole Hall has been chosen as the venue once again
for BBC Cambridgeshire's and the British Heart Foundation's
third Great Cambridgeshire Run. This beautiful setting offers a
great day out for family and friends and on the 12th September you
have the chance to combine a day out with a run or walk to raise
funds for the British Heart Foundation, BBC Trustline and the
National Trust.
Run distances are at 1 mile, 5.2 miles and half-marathon, or
there's a 9.5 mile walk around Wimpole Estate. Whether you're
looking for a physical challenge, a social gathering or a kick
start to a healthier way of life, this is the run for you, and you
can bring the family to watch or spend the day looking around all
the facilities at Wimpole Hall while you take part in the run.
Usual entrance fees apply.
BBC Cambridgeshire’s Trustline champions local causes by raising
thousands of pounds for charities and groups that are run by
volunteers who give their time freely; and the great thing is the
money stays in Cambridgeshire.
How fit do I need to be?
You need to be in good health and reasonably fit. If you have a
medical condition or are in any doubt about your health you must
consult your doctor before participating. Please note this is
intended as a personal challenge and not a race.
Please Be Aware
Please be aware that the courses go across beautiful countryside
and through woodland. There may therefore be very muddy places in
wet conditions and uneven terrain. With the exception of the 1 mile
run some areas will be steep.
Location & Timings
On arrival at Wimpole Hall park in the main car park and follow the

This year we are also encouraging team entries of up to six

the event will win a fabulous prize donated to us by Newmarket
Races. This comprises:
Entrance to Newmarket Racecourse for 6 people to a summer Saturday
fixture in 2011, a private behind-the-scenes tour before the
racing, a table for 6 in the Summer House Restaurant for lunch (
including a bottle of champagne) and afternoon tea.
