Carlisle Remembrance Run
The Carlisle Remembrance Run is a community event in Carlisle held on Saturday 7 November. The event supports the Royal British Legion, and organisers aim for 100% of entry fees (excluding medal cost) to go directly to the charity.
Distances offered include:
- 5 km Remembrance Run, manually timed
- 2 km Fun Run/Walk, not timed, family focused
Entry includes a commemorative medal, a race number, and refreshments at the finish. The event is non-competitive and does not award winners’ prizes. Participants are encouraged to wear red or poppy-themed clothing in honour of Remembrance.
The event is presented as inclusive: participants using wheelchairs, pushing prams, or bringing well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome. The 5 km participants may also take part in the 2 km course at no extra cost. Organisers seek local business sponsorship and volunteers to support the event and its fundraising aims.
The overall emphasis is on remembrance, community togetherness, and supporting serving personnel, veterans, and their families through the Royal British Legion. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
