The Shelford Fun Run 2025 is going to be bigger and better!
As well as the 5k race and 5k fun run on closed roads through the villages of Great and Little Shelford…
Great Shelford Parish Council are returning with their fun day elements to enhance the ‘race village’. So we hope to see you on 21 Sept for a #ShelfordFun morning whether you are running or not!
Beneficiaries
Your entry fees will be split equally between our fabulous local co-host charities, GREAT SHELFORD PLAYSCAPE and CamRARE. It’s also super easy to set up your own fundraising page – to help raise additional much needed funds in sponsorship for either, or both, of our charities with Give As You Live to mark your achievement!


Play for all is at the heart of the playscape you see in Great Shelford today, with inclusive design integrated throughout the process. Shelford Playscape continue to work with Great Shelford Parish Council to maintain and improve inclusive play & recreation across the Rec.


CAMBRIDGE RARE DISEASE NETWORK (CamRARE) unite patients, advocates, experts and innovators to address the challenges faced by people living with rare disease. CamRARE are raising funds for their Unique Feet community group which provides activities and support for families of children and young people with a rare condition.
