TTP Cambridge Half Marathon 2026 (not affiliated to or associated with any organisers or sponsors)

Note: Not affiliated or associated with TTP or any of the other sponsors or organisers of the Cambridge Half Marathon. Runners' view recording of the Cambridge Half Marathon 2026. Video recorded using a head-mounted GoPro Hero Black 12 with Mod Lens 2.0 in Max SuperView mode and a DigiPower Re-fuel extended battery pack attached. Stabilization provided in real time by the GoPro's "HyperSmooth 6" EIS with AutoBoost active. Metrics recorded using a Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and Samsung Health (more on the iffy HR readings later!). Video partially rotated, clipped and scaled using ffmpeg before overlay provided by gpx2video, with the GPX file and video manually synced as a "best effort" attempt. I'm sorry I had to "put it through the wash" twice, as the many signs the spectators held up are becoming a bit difficult to read! As with last year's Peterborough half-marathon, the camera starts level and gradually works its way over to one side. I've partially compensated for that by rotating the whole video about 5°, hence the slight lean to the left at the start! I do have the option of putting the camera into "Horizon lock" mode, but that creates a disconcerting "drag" effect when I look rapidly to one side or the other, which happens often enough during a jog to put me off of the idea! The weather was almost ideal for jogging, albeit a bit humid - a little chilly for shorts and t-shirt at the start without getting too warm by the end, although it did get about 5°C over the duration. Not sure what to call out first! In general, thanks to everyone in the crowd for their support, the many signs, and the occasionally disconcerting call-outs by name - they did help! Thanks also to the organisers, marshals, water station volunteers, entertainers, etc. Couldn't do this without you, or would have found the whole experience much less enjoyable! So, on to the run. I pass a pair of ovaries at about 0:17:35, respect for that, and also a corn-on-the-cob around 1:37:00 and a carrot near 1:41:10 - hope their efforts were well rewarded! There were three runners who turn to wave at the camera, although I've yet to find one of them; the other two are at 0:34:58 and 0:45:32. As to landmarks, I don't know Cambridge well enough to know what to flag up! The Tivoli cinema-turned-bar stood out a bit at 26:10, although I know we used to have something similar in Aberdeen. We run alongside the Cam for a bit, but I don't see any rowers - probably too late in the day for them! However, we do enter the grounds of a few of the colleges, starting with St John's at 33:10 and coming nearer the buildings about a minute and a half later. At 37:50 (about 3.5 miles in) I enjoy the facetious call to dig in for the "final stretch"! Looks like we head on to Trinity about a minute later, but I'll check that against the route map. My lack of co-ordination is displayed to the world when I fail to throw a bottle into an industrial-sized bin from close range at 41:46, although I'm pleased to report that I hit the target every subsequent time! King's is next at 42:50, probably the best-known of the colleges, partly thanks to the choristers who perform in its chapel? We cross the Cam again at 49:00 where I try to get the Mathematical Bridge connecting two parts of Queen's College into the shot. At 51:40, the Fitzwilliam Museum passes by for the first time, and at 54:20 we see the rather more modern Engineering building dedicated to James Dyson of vacuum cleaner fame. We head out of town for a bit of semi-rural peace and quiet after that, a long steady rise towards Grantchester (signposted 1:13:55) and then Trumpington. I liked the contrast, but I'm not sure that it was popular amongst the other runners! We arrive at 1:23:14 and spectators soon re-appear. At 1:34:30, I unexpectedly discover that I look wonderful, which cheers me up somewhat, and then it's the last uphill into Trumpington, although I didn't catch exactly when we enter. By about 1:55:00 we're back in town and the crowds start to return. 1:58:15 gives us a better view of the Fitzwilliam, although by then my brain has probably given up on anything other than keeping moving. 2:06:55 sees a sign asking if I've ever tried rowing, but at this point I couldn't have stopped to say "yes!" without some serious mental effort first! Think I just about managed to think "well, it /is/ lower impact than running" and then it was back to "how close am I to the finish line, and when can I safely start my sprint?". I'd been warned that this last bit is deceptive as these aren't finish-line crowds, and I should wait for the roundabout. It's a struggle to figure out what is or isn't a roundabout by now... We pass by one more college at 2:11:20, Jesus if the map is correct, then the roundabout I no longer trust at 2:13:40. Now I'm all "where's the finish line so I can empty the tank?", but I miss the sign at 2:14:55 that would have answered that question, and instead kick on when I can see the line at 2:15:35 or so!
