On March 15 2020, the day before lockdown Gillian and I did the Carlisle Half Marathon. Two years letter we were back for our our first road race since then. A much bigger field than last year toed the line at Brunton Park (home of Carlisle United) before a round of applause in support of Ukraine (and a large flag).
Gillian was still struggling with the effects of COVID so opted to move to the 10K.
The race starts with a tour of Carlisle city centre, including a run through the Sands shopping center (which I really like) before heading out into the Cumbrian countryside. The race heads out toward Brampton before reentering the city via Rickerby park and finishes back in the football Stadium.
I really enjoyed running a "city" race again albeit 1 min slower than 2 years ago, and Gillian had a good 10k coming 3rd female.
