Last year saw the Workington Festival of Running brought back into the town as the first half-marathon event in 40 years. This year’s popular event will take place on Sunday, August 10, at Workington Cricket Club from 8 am. There are races to suit all running abilities and ages, including a half marathon, 10k, 5k and 1k fun run. The race will start at Workington Hall and is said to offer runners an ‘exciting course that combines challenging sections’. The 10k will begin at 12 pm for runners aged 15 and above, and the 5k is open to anyone aged 11 and over.
