Great Cumbrian Half Marathon

Run with us on Sunday 7th October 2018 and enjoy a stunning scenic and town route through the historic border city of Carlisle.

Now in it's 35th year, the Half Marathon will start from the magnificent Carlisle Castle, crossing Castle Way and heading through Carlisle city centre before heading out into the countryside and through the picturesque villages of Cumwhinton, Wetheral and Scotby. On return into the city you will come through Bitts Park ready for the grand finish on the track in The Sheepmount Athletics Stadium.

We are proud supporters of MacMillian Cancer Support, Teenage Cancer Trust, Cash for Kids and Eden Valley Hospice.
