Course, safety and prizes
The course uses a mixture of park paths, pavements and quiet roads and is described as mainly flat with generally good road surfaces. The route begins with a loop of Bitts Park, passes Carlisle Castle (two laps), then returns to the Sheepmount Stadium with the finish near the small grandstand. The 5 km route is officially measured and a full course risk assessment, route maps, the race permit and the measurement certificate will be displayed at event HQ on race day.
Runners are asked to follow race director and marshal instructions and take care at turns because of cars and cyclists. A race safety briefing will take place before the race. Prizes are awarded to overall 1st–3rd male and female. Age group prizes are paid by BACS within seven days and are awarded by category size: 1st only for 1–17 competitors, 1st and 2nd for 18–27, and 1st–3rd for 28 or more. Withdrawals one month before the event incur a 50% charge; after that date no refunds are given. Results will be posted by the timing provider after the race.
