Run

This new event from Cockermouth to Workington is scheduled to be an annual road running race in Memory of Police Officer Bill Barker.

The route will follow the road/cycle path from Cockermouth town centre to Workington cricket ground on July 18th 2010. This event is a North of England Athletics Association affiliated road race and has been accurately measured at a distance of 9.5 miles.

Event organisers Big-Q Events Ltd are hoping for a 1,000 plus field in year one with a £100,000 charity target figure set.

Be aware that the route has some rather tough inclines along its length, and although this event is predominantly a road running event, entrants will be able to walk along sections of the route if it becomes too challenging. See the Proposed Route available on MapMyRun where an option to display the route elevation should be available.

Road closures/restrictions will be in place with a 4 hour cut off for the last runner in place.

The race will start at 10.00am promptly on July 18th.

The race is open to all runners aged 16 years and older on 18th July 2010.
