Kirkbride Half Marathon
The Kirkbride Half Marathon takes place on 28 June 2026 with Race HQ at The White Heather Hotel, Old Airfield, Kirkbride, Wigton, Cumbria, CA7 5HW. The course is officially measured and certified by the Association of UK Course Measurers (Course Measurement Number 19/029) and holds a race licence (number 30289).
The route is described as flat and runs on quiet country roads. It comprises two loops: an initial 5.3 mile loop through Kirkbride and Newton Arlosh and a longer 7.8 mile loop that returns via the same villages and a bridge, finishing at The White Heather Hotel. Start and finish locations are both at or close to the hotel.
On-site facilities include ample parking, separate male and female toilets and a baggage lay down area. Race numbers and timing chips are issued at race registration and race-day information is provided to entrants in the week before the event. A full course risk assessment, route maps, the race permit and the measurement certificate are available at event headquarters on race day.
Water stations are positioned at approximately 3 miles, 5.5 miles and 9 miles; cups are provided at the earlier stations and bottles at the later station, with participants required to take bottles from the table. Results are published live online shortly after the race.
Prizes are awarded 1st to 3rd male and female and by age groups (20-29, 30-39 etc.) with payout levels depending on the number of competitors in each age group. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
