THE RACE
We’re thrilled to announce the return of Chariots of Fire, Cambridge’s much-loved charitable relay race, and invite you to enter a team for the 2026 event! Thanks to the incredible support from the Cambridge community, the race has raised over £1.5 million for local charities to date. Building on this success, HCR Hewitsons has once again partnered with race specialists RunThrough to bring you an unforgettable race next year.
In 2025, we raised over £35,000 for Roald Dahl’s Marvellous Children’s Charity, which provides vital services to seriously ill children across the UK. We’re in the process of selecting the charity we will support in 2026 and will make an announcement in February 2026.
Let’s come together once again to run, cheer, and make a difference!
THE ROUTE
Chariots of Fire is a closed road relay around Cambridge city centre and through some of the University’s colleges.
