5k Runs in Cambridge 2026 - 2027

The most comprehensive list of 5k Runs in and near Cambridge in 2026 - 2027. Find your perfect race!

Jesus Green and Midsummer Common sit right on the River Cam in the centre of Cambridge and give you a long stretch of flat, open ground for 5K training. The River Cam towpath extends well beyond both, heading south toward Grantchester Meadows. The most distinctive option is The Backs, where the towpath runs alongside the university colleges - it can get busy on sunny days, but early mornings are usually clear. 10K runs in Cambridge are there when you're ready to go further.

Have a browse through the listings below. The Gog Magog Hills are just south of Cambridge for anyone wanting a break from the flat – the running is rolling rather than steep, but it passes for hill training in the fens. Half marathons in Cambridge and marathons in Cambridge are there when you're ready to go further.
