Sport in Action - Festival Of Running
Sport in Action stages a festival of three measured road races in Kirkbride, England on 28 June 2026. The event base is The White Heather Hotel, Old Airfield, CA7 5HW. Distances offered include:
- 5 Miles
- 13.1 Miles (half marathon)
- 26.2 Miles (Solway Coast Marathon)
All courses are officially measured and certified accurate by the Association of UK Course Measures. The three races are described as flat, and the Solway Coast Marathon is noted as possibly the flatest marathon in the UK. Course maps are available online via RidewithGPS and event pages.
Race numbers and timing chips are issued at registration. Registration closes on 26 June 2026. Live results will be available through Timing Up North Results. The withdrawal policy states that entries cancelled up until 28 May 2026 are subject to a 50% processing charge; after that date no refunds are given.
All finishers receive a bespoke medal. Overall prizes are awarded to the first three male and female finishers. Age group prizes follow a sliding scale: 1 to 17 competitors receive 1st place only, 18 to 27 competitors receive 1st and 2nd places, and 28 or more competitors receive 1st through 3rd places. Age group awards roll down if an age grouper wins an overall prize. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
