The Carsington Water 10K & Half Marathon takes place in October at Carsington Water, offering both 10K and half marathon distances. The courses utilize rolling paths encircling the reservoir, meaning participants will encounter consistent elevation changes rather than a flat road race.
The course is marked with kilometre signs and provides participants with unobstructed views of the surrounding landscape as they complete the circuit around the water. Volunteers are stationed along the route to support runners, and entry includes water, a themed medal, and post-race items.
