Saucony Cambridge Half Marathon, OSB Events, have announced the opening of Individual VIP Corporate Entry for the event on Sunday 4th March.
Only 50 places have been released for this unique opportunity to take part in the ever-popular Saucony Cambridge Half Marathon, which sold all 9,000 general entries within hours of the race going on sale in October.
The 13.1-mile race around beautiful and historic Cambridge has always been a firm fixture in the spring calendar for runners from Cambridgeshire and beyond, and it is expected that the release of 50 further places will be eagerly embraced by corporate runners looking for a very special race experience.
