Chariots of Fire 2019

Sun 22 September 2019

Queen's Green

Chariots of Fire is an annual relay race that sees teams of six run a 1.7 mile course in relay format through the heart of Cambridge.

Starting on Queen's Green each lap gives the runners the chance to run through the picturesque grounds of both Trinity College and King's College. All while raising essential funds for this year's official charity Addenbrooke's Charitable Trust who are raising money to fund a dedicated children's ambulance service.

Adults and new-born babies in our region who need intensive care treatment for complex conditions are blue-lighted by a dedicated, specialist ambulance service to the most appropriate hospital. Surprisingly, there is no such service in our region that can specifically provide intensive care for critically ill children.

If every team participating in the 2019 Chariots of Fire raised a minimum of £300, together we can get the new children’s ambulance service on the road. This would effectively provide an Intensive Care Unit on wheels to keep children alive during transfers, ensuring that they survive long enough to get to Addenbrooke’s.

Cost: £150 (for a team of six)
