Eaglesfield Paddle 5 & 10K
Eaglesfield Paddle 5 and 10 km are two undulating road races through villages south of Cockermouth with mountain views. The event is scheduled for 12 July 2026 and raises funds for the Paddle Community Association to buy equipment for the local school.
Registration takes place in the school playground, or inside the hall if wet, and there is a 10 to 15 minute jog or walk from the school to the race start. Race briefings are held at the start before each race. Boxes will be available at the start to leave clothing; items are left at the owner’s risk and uncollected items will be donated one week after the event.
Aid and facilities include a water station at approximately 3 km and 8 km and an additional water point at the finish. For hot weather the finish area features a rainbow sprinkler and volunteers will carry water pistols on the route. Refreshments including drinks, baps and cakes are available for purchase after the race.
Practical details: parking is available in the school car park and up Eaglesfield Road toward the church, marshals will assist anyone leaving the car park before the race has finished, and headphones are not permitted. Results are timed by Timing Up North Results. Entry fees are listed from £14 for the 5 km and £16 for the 10 km, with a £2 discount for affiliated members and a limited number of on-the-day entries at a £5 surcharge if the event does not sell out.
