The Shelford Fun Run 2025 is going to be bigger and better!

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 for either, or both, of our charities with Give As You Live and this year we’ve added a fundraiser discount option, in all age categories, for those planning to fundraise to mark you achievement! If you select the fundraiser price, please set your fundraising target to £50 for individuals or £100 for teams/groups.
Let’s make this year’s Shelford Fun Run our most impactful yet!
Play for all is at the heart of the playscape you see in Great Shelford today, with inclusive design woven into the process.
Shelford Playscape continue to work with Great Shelford Parish Council and this year fundraising for the Shelford Fun Run will go towards upgrading the lonely basketball hoop on the rec into a 3×3 basketball court – as seen in the exciting new Olympic sport that uses one hoop, 2 teams of 3, with fast and furious games!
Also for the fitness fans – the proposal includes an active trail of workout equipment – more info here.
CAMBRIDGE RARE DISEASE NETWORK (CamRARE) unite patients, advocates, experts and innovators to address the challenges faced by people living with rare disease.
In fundraising for CamRARE you’ll help support more local families, offering friendship, connection, and inclusive, adaptive activities that keep minds and bodies healthy.
Think: dance sessions, hydropools, farm visits, inclusive tennis, adaptive water sports, and more!
Run for fun. Run for fitness. Run for a future where no family feels alone.
If you’d like to split your sponsorship between both of our host charities Give as You Live provides this option if you set up your own page from the main menu (click on the logo below for this option).
