Running in Northstowe.
A new town under construction 5 miles north-west of Cambridge, between Longstanton and Oakington, eventually planned for around 25,400 residents. Formed as its own civil parish (from Longstanton and Oakington & Westwick) in 2021. Already has two parkrun events and a growing running-festival calendar centred on Western Park.
Northstowe doesn't have a running club of its own. The nearest is HI Runners in Histon (training sessions also in Northstowe and Willingham), about 2 miles away — close enough for a regular session if you're happy to travel for it.
Northstowe has its own parkrun, Bug Hunter Waters parkrun, every Saturday at 9am — free, timed, and open to anyone. A Western Park junior parkrun also runs in Northstowe on Sundays.
