Sport In Action - Festival Of Running
The Sport In Action Festival Of Running takes place in Kirkbride, England, based at The White Heather Hotel on the Old Airfield. This multi-distance event features three distinct road races set against the backdrop of the Solway Coast. All courses used during the festival are officially measured and certified by the Association of UK Course Measures in accordance with UKA rules.
The following distances are available:
- 5 Miles (Kirkbride 5 Mile)
- 13.1 Miles (Kirkbride Half Marathon)
- 26.2 Miles (Solway Coast Marathon)
The event is characterized by its level terrain, with all three routes described as flat. The full marathon is noted for its lack of elevation, making it a prospective choice for participants seeking Good for Age qualification times for major events such as the London Marathon.
Race headquarters provides facilities for registration where participants receive their race numbers and timing chips. Live results are provided by a dedicated timing service. All participants who complete their respective distances receive a bespoke finisher medal. Competitive prizes are awarded to the top three overall male and female finishers, as well as various age group categories based on the number of competitors in each bracket.
