Carsington Water Half Marathon and 10k - 27 June 2026

The event takes place at Carsington Water in Derbyshire on Saturday 27th June 2026 and offers two distances:

Half Marathon
10k

Both races follow undulating trail paths around the reservoir. The half marathon combines an out-and-back section with one full loop of the reservoir. The 10k covers almost one full loop. Route GPX files are available for each distance. The course will be marked with trail flags and A5 arrows, and marshals will be positioned to guide participants.

Race entry includes free event photographs, official chip-timed results, post-race goodies and a bespoke event-themed medal. An event village will offer food and drink options and partner-provided freebies at the finish.

The organiser advertises volunteer roles at the event village, including managing stalls and handing out medals. The organiser also notes ongoing work on sustainability for its events. There is an option to purchase an event t-shirt with the event logo at a discounted price when bought as part of entry, supplied through the event’s partner RT Kit.
