Hi Emma, CB3 9ND is the post code for the Orchard Tea Rooms. The Runs Start is about 100m further towards Trumpington from Grantchester (Parking another 200m). The map in the sidebar of the front page accurately shows the location of the Start. There will be signs and flags aplenty. Have a safe trip, GCR
Just done the 10k run wondering if there will be a list of our times. Also a lady had a bad fall only on the first few yards bib no 119 as it was very tough at the start with everyone trying to get through. I help her up but no one came to her aid so I encouraged her to try and carry on. I hope she is ok from her fall.
Many thanks

Hi Emma, Thanks for the update. I’ll check but I believe that lady is ok and I can confirm that #119 did complete the full 10k. We will look into improving that start for next year. Grantchester Charity Runs
Hey Emma, I didn’t see the fall but I saw you helping the runner afterwards. I thought you were brilliant. Well done, you’re a star. Paul
very nice to have a cuppa and a bun as a freebie at the end. thanks for that, and to all the volunteers helping out.

ps If the lady in question is #119, she did complete the course!
Had a really great day today. A big thank you to all that had a hand in the organising and for the marshals that ensured the run went as well as it. The weather couldn’t have been better and the atmosphere was very friendly. Even better to get across the line to be greeted by a free cup of tea and a bacon roll.
Thanks again. Will be back again next year.
A great off road 10k with lovely views. The marshals were great encouraging us along. All round a great race.
I donated towards a t-shirt when I entered online but didn’t get one. Is it too late.

Hi Joanna, Thanks for the kind words. We have some T-shirts available. Are you local to Cambridge/Grantchester?
