Event details
The Castle 5K Race 1 takes place on 20 May 2026 at The Sheepmount, Carlisle, Great Britain. The course is an officially measured 5 km route that uses a mixture of park paths, pavements and quiet roads. Surfaces are described as generally good and mainly flat. The route begins with a loop of Bitts Park, returns toward Carlisle Castle for two laps, then proceeds back to Sheepmount Stadium with the finish near the small grandstand. Caution is advised at all turns; marshals will be in place and runners are asked to follow the race director’s instructions and be aware of cars and cyclists.
A full course risk assessment, route maps, the race permit and the measurement certificate will be on display at the event HQ in line with UKA rules. A race safety briefing is scheduled before the race. Results will be published online approximately ten minutes after the race start.
