Peterborough Cathedral hosts Great Eastern Run event

The official charity partner of the race, Living Sport invites participants, whether experienced athletes or novices, to join their team for the half-marathon or 5K route.

In doing so, runners will indirectly contribute to the promotion of health and wellbeing in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.

The event, unveiled on August 19 at the historic Peterborough Cathedral, also saw the introduction of a renewed route for the run, after taking input from the previous year's participants.
