Now in its 33rd consecutive year, over 2,000 runners are expected to take part in the 13.1 mile Half Marathon with a further 500 entrants taking part in the CFM Cash For Kids Family Fun Run.

The 13.1 mile Half Marathon will start from the iconic 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 their return into the city, runners will come through Bitts Park ready for the grand finish on the track in The Sheepmount Athletics Stadium.

Now established as a nationally-recognised running event, both runners and supporters come out in their droves to take part in the Great Cumbrian Run. With an undulating route this is a challenge for even the most experienced road runners but with the public’s support on the day, everyone is sure to finish with a great time.
