Running in Longstanton.
A village 6 miles north-west of Cambridge, once proposed as the site of the 'Northstowe' ecotown; that new town was ultimately built as an adjoining, separate civil parish. Longstanton sits directly on the Cambridgeshire Guided Busway path, popular with runners.
Longstanton doesn't have a running club of its own. The nearest is HI Runners in Histon (trains across Northstowe, Willingham, Histon), about 3 miles away — close enough for a regular session if you're happy to travel for it.
