3 Village 5 & 10 Mile 2027

The 3 Village 5 & 10 Mile takes place at Wetheral Village Community Hall near Carlisle in Cumbria, offering five-mile and ten-mile races in early April. Both events are chip timed. The ten-mile race follows an officially measured course, suitable for runners seeking an accurately recorded road race. The course winds through quiet country roads near Wetheral, with the ten-mile event comprising two laps. It features undulations rather than being flat, beginning at approximately 193 feet above sea level, reaching about 233 feet, and accumulating around 389 feet of elevation gain over the ten miles. Organisers present it as a demanding event and beneficial preparation for a spring marathon. Facilities at the hall include baggage storage, toilets, and limited parking, with additional parking available on nearby streets. The course records are notable: James Douglas recorded 52:25, and Joasia Zakrzewski set the women’s record at 1:02:07.
