We have a few jogging routes which we would recommend. For a shorter jog feel free to jog around the fields surrounding the hotel. For a longer jog we would suggest the following:
40-60 minutes jog
Turn left onto Huntingdon Road and follow the road past the garage and Isaac Newton Pub. At crossroads go straight and you will arrive at River Cam with Colleges to the right.
For a longer route and a different way back (total time 1 – 2 hours)
• Go past the colleges at Queen`s Rd and continue until you reach Newnham Road and Barton Rd. Alternatively you can turn right early at Sidgwick Avenue.
• Turn right onto Grange road, there are some more colleges down this road.
• At the end turn left onto Madingley Road and then right down Storey’s Way.
• There are two more colleges down this road. The road goes round to the left, then to the right.
• At the end of Storey’s way turn left onto Huntingdon Road. The Felix is on the right side of the road.
Shorter jog – 15 – 30 Minutes
• Exit the hotel.
• Turn right onto Huntingdon road.
• Go right past the garage down Girton road.
• Take the second right down Thornton road.
• Turn right at the end – this will put you back onto Huntingdon Road.
• Turn left onto Huntingdon Road and then shortly left into the Hotel Felix.
