Run Clubs in Cambridge

Cambridge & Coleridge Athletic Club (often abbreviated C&C) is a long-established athletics club in Cambridge, founded in 1961 from the merger of two local clubs. It supports track & field, endurance running (including road running and cross-country), and athletics for athletes of all ages — from juniors to masters — with coaching, training groups and competition opportunities throughout the year.

Cambridge Hash House Harriers (often called the Cantabrigensis Hash House Harriers or just “Cambridge Hash”) is part of the global Hash House Harriers network — an informal, non-competitive running and social group often described as “a drinking club with a running problem.” Members (called hashers) follow a trail laid out by a hare using markers like chalk/flour, enjoy the challenge of following the trail together, and finish at a pub/social spot with drinks and awards.

South Cambridge Striders is an inclusive, friendly running club with a focus on social and chatty running rather than competition. The club welcomes runners of varying abilities, including complete beginners and improvers, and offers a range of runs each week — including steady Sunday runs and Tuesday evening runs. They also run Couch to 5K programmes and longer training groups (e.g., for the Cambridge Half Marathon)
