The Shelford 5K Fun Run is a community running event in Great Shelford near Cambridge, following a measured 5K course through the neighbouring villages of Great and Little Shelford. Closed roads provide a traffic free setting for the race and fun run, with the event welcoming participants across a wide range of ages and abilities.

Runners take on a fast and flat 5K road course, making the Shelford 5K a strong option for those chasing a personal best over the distance. The same route is open to recreational runners, beginners, walkers and family groups, allowing participants to complete the course at their own pace.

The event combines competitive 5K running with an inclusive community fun run and raises funds for local charitable causes. Its village setting, closed road course and accessible format make it a popular local event for both experienced runners and those taking part for the social and fundraising experience.
