NORTH LAKES HALF MARATHON & 10KM

The North Lakes Half Marathon & 10km, organized by Wild Deer Events and Timing Up North, invites runners to experience the picturesque Lorton Valley near Cockermouth Town Centre. This scenic race offers two distances: a half marathon and a 10-kilometer run.
Starting in Market Place, Cockermouth Town Centre, participants will traverse quiet country lanes that wind through the stunning landscapes of the Lake District National Park. The routes are designed to showcase breathtaking views and provide runners with an enjoyable yet challenging course. Both races begin early on race day: the half marathon at 9:00 am followed by the 10km run starting ten minutes later.
Runners will benefit from live chip-timing, ensuring accurate results for all competitors. Upon crossing the finish line, participants are greeted with a variety of rewards including an event medal and merchandise from Wild Deer Events. Refreshments such as snacks and drinks await every runner to help them recover after their efforts.
For those interested in commemorating this event, T-shirts can be purchased at £14 during registration. Parking is readily available within walking distance of the start line in Cockermouth Town Centre.
The race also supports Blood Bikes Cumbria, a vital service that provides out-of-hours medical courier services for urgent healthcare needs throughout the county. Runners are encouraged to make donations through their entry fees to contribute towards this important cause.
For visitors looking to extend their stay and explore more of the region's beauty, Graysonside Guest House offers accommodation options on Saturday, February 7th, complete with parking facilities available at the guest house for the duration of the event. Contact details are provided for those interested in booking a room or securing additional information about accommodations.
