Haweswater Half Marathon
The Haweswater Half Marathon is scheduled for Sunday 7 March 2027 and marks the event's 25th anniversary. The race starts in Bampton Village and follows a primarily out-and-back route along the shores of Haweswater, running on quiet tarmac roads through a remote mountain valley.
The event is held under UKA rules, the distance is certified, and the race is registered with RunEvents. Finishers receive an official mug together with piping hot tea and a piece of flapjack supplied by a local bakery; there is also the option to donate a portion of the entry fee to local charitable partners instead of receiving the mug. Team prizes are offered for groups of runners.
Organisers describe several sustainability measures: volunteers reuse signage and way markers, cups at water stations are donated for reuse, and attendees are encouraged to car share. Local facilities noted for attendees include cycle stands at the Mardale Inn and a cycle hub at the valley stores for e-bike charging and minor repairs. The event offers vegan and non-vegan finish food options.
Entries for the 2027 race are open, with an early bird discount available for entries received before 3 January 2027. The race location is listed as Bampton Village Hall, Bampton, Cumbria CA10 2RQ. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
