AM Caravans Castle 5K Race 1
AM Caravans Castle 5K Race 1 takes place on 19 May 2027 at The Sheepmount, Carlisle, Great Britain. The event is the first race in the Castle 5K series and is held over a measured 5 km course. Competitors entering the full five-race series are allowed one virtual race to accommodate holidays or clashes.
The course uses a mixture of park paths, pavements and quiet roads that are mainly flat with generally good road surfaces. The route begins with a loop of Bitts Park, passes Carlisle Castle where runners complete two laps, and finishes back at Sheepmount Stadium near the small grandstand. Caution is advised at turns and marshals will be in place. A full course risk assessment, route maps, the race permit (Permit No TBA) and the measurement certificate will be on display at event headquarters in accordance with UKA rules.

Example entry fees listed include adult affiliated £15 and unaffiliated £17, junior affiliated £10 and unaffiliated £12, with series packages also available.
