The Carlisle 5K Series is organised by Sport in Action and consists of five summer evening races held at Sheepmount Athletics Stadium in Carlisle. Each race is a standalone event while also contributing to the overall series standings for runners competing across multiple races.
The accurately measured 5K course follows a mainly flat route using park paths, pavements and quiet roads through Bitts Park before looping around Carlisle Castle and returning to the finish near Sheepmount Athletics Stadium. The fast course offers consistent conditions for runners targeting a quick time.
The races are chip timed and held under UK Athletics rules, with experienced organisation throughout the series. Overall and age group prizes are awarded, and live results are published shortly after each race, creating a welcoming but competitive atmosphere.
