Addenbrooke’s Charitable Trust is dedicated to supporting innovation in patient care at Addenbrooke’s and the Rosie hospitals, both on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus. Charitable donations fund high-tech equipment, specialist staff, extra comforts and vital research to find potential cures and help save lives. The charity is also fundraising to help build two new pioneering hospitals on the campus which will benefit patients not just in the East of England, but nationally and globally too – the Cambridge Cancer Research Hospital and the Cambridge Children’s Hospital.

The Campus is served by both the Trumpington or Babraham Road Park and Ride services, as well as guided and on-road buses. For those who wish to drive, the closest car park is Car Park 2 or you can use Car Park 1. You will have to pay to use either car park.

Accessibility
Based on valuable feedback from previous events, we’ve made improvements to this year’s course to better accommodate participants using wheelchairs or running blades. We’ve reduced the number of repeated laps and incorporated more concrete paths into the route for a smoother experience. Please note that the paths within Hobson’s Park do have a layer of gravel, but we’re excited to offer a more accessible and enjoyable course this year!
