Sunday 3rd Oct 2010 - Cambridge's 'On-Footse' Top 100 Charity Race
The On-Footse race, at the University Athletics Track, invites 100 local employers
to put up one runner each to run one mile as fast as they can — to compete for a
place in the ‘On-Footse’ Top 100 Index. Attracting both serious competitors and
fun-runners alike, the aim is to raise money for the local mental health charity
Cam-mind. Further information from the Footse100 website.
