Event details
The Kirkbride Half Marathon takes place on June 28, 2026, with Race HQ at The White Heather Hotel, Old Airfield, Kirkbride, Wigton, Cumbria CA7 5HW. The event is an officially measured and certified course by the Association of UK Course Measurers (Course Measurement Number 19/029). The organiser issues race numbers and timing chips at race registration and will email race day information to entrants; updates will also appear on the event page and the Sport in Action home page. Course records for the old course are: male 01:09:15 and female 01:23:49.
Course and logistics
The route uses quiet country roads and is described as flat. It consists of two loops: a first 5.3 mile loop through Kirkbride and Newton Arlosh, and a second 7.8 mile loop that returns to the finish at The White Heather Hotel. Ample on-site parking is available. Toilets for male and female participants and a baggage lay-down area will be provided.
Water stations are positioned at approximately 4 miles and 8 miles; water will be provided in bottles on tables and participants are required to take bottles from the table rather than being handed them. A full course risk assessment, route maps and the measurement certificate will be on display at event headquarters on race day. Prize structure includes 1st to 3rd male and female and age-group awards with distribution based on the number of competitors in each age group.
