The Carlisle Half Marathon is a flat, closed-road event organized by RunThrough Events at Carlisle Racecourse in Cumbria, England. Runners complete 9 laps of the racecourse's interior road network for the half marathon, alongside shorter 10K and 5K options held the same morning. The looped, traffic-free circuit is accurately measured and designed to be fast, making it a popular choice for first-time half marathon finishers and runners chasing a personal record (PR). The event includes chip-timed results, a themed finisher medal, free race photos, and post-race refreshments, and supports charity partner Cumbria Addictions Advice and Solutions (CADAS). Free on-site parking is available at the racecourse, with early arrival recommended.
