Shelford 5k Fun Run

Event date: Sunday 21st September

🏃‍♀️ Join Team Shelford Playscape at the Shelford 5k Fun Run 2025! 🏃‍♂️

21st September 2025 | Great Shelford Recreation Ground | Cambs
Whether you're a seasoned runner chasing a PB or a family looking for a fun day out, the #ShelfordFunRun is the perfect event for all abilities! This fast, flat, UKA-registered 5k race and fun run on closed roads through Great and Little Shelford is chip-timed and full of community spirit.
Shelford Playscape  is proud to co-host with CamRARE and fundraise through the event, and we’re inviting individuals, families, and teams to run or walk to help us with the next phase of the Shelford Playscape masterplan.

3x3 Basketball
We’ve had fantastic community support for the proposal to transform the lonely basketball hoop into a 3×3 basketball court – as seen in the exciting new Olympic sport that uses one hoop, 2 teams of 3, with fast and furious games!

Active Trail
Continuing our inclusive ethos, a trail of timber workout along the western edge of the rec, from carousel corner to the basketball zone, will be chosen for it’s flexibility in being able to be used by people of different ages and abilities in different ways.

More info on the projects here.

By joining our team and fundraising (just £50 per person or £100 per team), you’ll help us meet the target to qualify for additional grant funding to bring these project to life!

Help us build a rec for all of the community!
