Bourn to Run 2023 SUNDAY 17TH SEPTEMBER 10K & 3K RACES

Cambridgeshire's premier trail-running event

Now in its 15th Year, Bourn to Run offers a balance of both family friendly and competitive professional trail running routes.

Organised by the community and for the community; Bourn To Run provides vital funds for Bourn Primary Academy.

We are generously supported by local business, and the event is the biggest in the school’s fundraising calendar, bringing new computers, equipment, and games to the children of Bourn Primary Academy.

The varied and challenging 10km course race can test even the most experienced runners. Whilst the 3km fun run around the village of Bourn is a much gentler event, attracting fitness enthusiasts and fun runners.

With a range of fun activities for all the family in the finishers’ area, as well as great coffee, cake and our BBQ to tempt you.

Whether you’re cheering on others or taking part, the carnival atmosphere is enough to keep everyone amused!

feedback from our runners

“Excellent race and well organised. I really enjoyed this race thought the course was a very nice balance. Fed up of boring flat courses. A good mixture of different surfaces. Excellent volunteers and will definitely return next year.”

“My first 10k run, would recommend it, and will be there next year. Very well organised, great atmosphere. ”

“Very well organised. This is an excellent local 10k race, running mostly off road on farm tracks and concrete footpaths. It was very well organised. The course is interesting with the first 5k uphill.”

“Great race, well organised and gave me a personal best for 10K. Quite undulating, but I enjoyed the rural scenery. A nice local race for Cambridgeshire. ”

THE COURSE

The Bourn to Run course is a multi-terrain route that includes some moderate hills, stretches of roads and country lanes, as well as footpaths, nature reserves, meadows and even fields of sheep! Please note it can get muddy or rocky depending on weather conditions. Be prepared for uneven ground.

Thank you to land owners and the Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire for providing the necessary access for the race.
