Shelford Fun Run 5k

5k RACE & 5k FUN RUN : Save the Date: 21 SEPTEMBER 2025

The fast and flat #ShelfordFunRun is a measured 5k course on closed roads through the villages of Great and Little Shelford near Cambridge.

The UKA registered 5k race and 5k fun run & walk are both chip timed and will set off in two separate waves on the same course.

For serious runners it’s a great chance to register a personal best.

For beginners and family groups the event is perfect! You can walk or jog at your own pace, enjoying the villages car free and savouring the atmosphere.

Whatever your reason for taking part, you will enjoy a great day out and your participation will help support the work of Shelford Playscape and CamRARE!

Certificate of Course Accuracy: 25/272

Volunteer

We would love to hear from anyone interested in joining the Shelford Fun Run committee to keep this much loved event going!

No running expertise is required, just an enthusiasm for inclusive community events. The commitment can vary from helping to plan the event throughout the year (from arranging road closures to putting up posters) to getting stuck in in the last week with all the final preparations.

We also need a large number of on the day volunteers to help set up the event, register runners, marshal the route, photograph the event and help to clear up.

Please email funrun@shelfordplayscape.org if you fancy joining the committee or can offer a helping hand on the day!
