Charities
Each year different charities are selected to receive the sponsorship money raised by the event and over the last 16 years £643,568 has been raised in total for a wide variety of worthy causes.
In 2008, two local charities were selected to benefit from the funds raised, Red Balloon – Cambridge and Romsey Mill. Red Balloon – Cambridge provides a safe learning environment for children in the local community who are suffering from the severe effects of bullying. Romsey Mill provides vital opportunities for disadvantaged young people and families in and around Cambridge. Full details on each of the charities can be found by clicking on the names to the right of this page.
Sponsorship money is currently being collected for Romsey Mill and Red Balloon - Cambridge and the money raised will be split equally between the two charities. All teams who entered the 2008 race should return their sponsorship monies to the Chariots of Fire administration office as soon as possible and the charities will be presented with a cheque each at the end of the year once the monies have been totalled.
