Runners in Cambridge’s biggest charity race will be battling it out for trophies, organizers say. Chariots of Fire will take place on Sunday, September 18, and as well as raising money for a good cause – The Rosie Hospital Campaign – participants will compete for 10 trophies.
About 2,500 people are expected to take part in the event, running in relay teams of six.
The winning team categories include prizes for the first, second and third fastest teams, all-male, all-female and mixed teams, veteran male, veteran female and veteran mixed teams, and the college team category.
Race organizers award the People’s Cup to the team that provides the most laughter and entertainment for the crowds on the day. A spokesman for the event, run by law firm Hewitsons and backed by the News, said: “This can be achieved by running the race in fancy dress or maybe a novel idea involving props or gimmicks. “The team awarded the cup last year were John Lewis, who dressed as chefs and ran the route with a tray in one hand and the relay-baton in the other.” The Rosie campaign aims to extend the current maternity hospital.
