It was the community sporting event many feared would never happen….

But against the odds the Carlisle Half Marathon, 10km, and Fun Run went ahead as planned on Sunday 15 March 2020, giving hundreds of enthusiastic competitors what may be their last chance for months to enjoy a community running event that took them through the heart of historic Carlisle.

Along with several other cities across the UK, the popular Sunday morning event defied the nation’s coronavirus fears and went ahead as planned.
