ATW Grafham Water 10 Mile

If you’re looking for a run that truly takes your breath away, this is it.

Join us at the spectacular Grafham Water for an unforgettable 10-mile running experience set in one of Cambridgeshire’s most stunning outdoor locations. With wide-open views, ever-changing scenery, and a flowing multi-terrain route, this is a course that feels special from the very first step.

The race begins on the iconic Grafham Dam, giving you an exhilarating, fast start with panoramic views stretching across the water. From there, the route sweeps you all the way around the reservoir, offering mile after mile of beautiful scenery — winding through peaceful woodland, skirting the edges of the Nature Reserve, gliding past Dragonfly Pond and Sanctuary Bay, before building towards a memorable final mile back along the length of the dam wall.

Every section of the course has its own character, making this a run that keeps you engaged, energised, and smiling throughout. Whether you’re chasing a strong performance or simply soaking up the surroundings, Grafham Water delivers a truly standout race experience.

Taking place in early December, this event has that perfect winter running magic — crisp air, festive atmosphere, and the ideal opportunity to clock a big run just before Christmas. It’s the ultimate way to finish your running year on a high.
