In short: Great new course with a lovely start coming out of the castle and straight into town past the cathedral.
In full: Despite challenging weather this was a great run. Lovely start out of the castle and then heads out of Carlisle into some of the nearby villages. Lots of hills to get stuck in to, but good support from people along the way and very well organised.

In short: Really good race, despite the weather.
In full: Only gripe was with the start - trying to get everyone to take 2 paces backwards just wasn't going to happen.

In short: Enjoyed the race but the start was a bit confusing.
In full: Good race and on my watch I got a PB, but the official time was 30 seconds slower, which annoyingly took me over 50 minutes, which was what I was trying to beat! Seemed to take a long time to cross the start line!

In short: Fourth time I've ran this race and those hills just don't get any smaller. Highlight this year was racing a duckling/gosling (?) on one of the hills - it was joining in on the grass alongside the road!

In short: Great race, well marshalled, and beautiful weather again, but the start was very confusing for anyone near the back.
In full: Really enjoyed this race, the route is good - not too hilly. And I enjoy seeing the elites running back, and cheering them on. Unfortunately the start was a bit annoying. I was quite near the back and couldn't work out what was going on - I much preferred it the year before, even though there was a bit of a bottle neck.
