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.

This year, we’re proud to be supporting Roald Dahl’s Marvellous Children’s Charity, which provides vital services to seriously ill children across the UK. Our goal is to help them raise £50,000 to help support children in Cambridge, and you can play a part by setting up a fundraising page.

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.

The route will start and finish on the Queens’ Green, and follow approximately a 2 mile route through Cambridge city centre, and through some of Cambridge University’s colleges, each person will complete 1 loop before handing over the baton to their next runner.
