The Carsington Water Half Marathon & 10k is an October trail-running event held at Carsington Water, offering participants a choice between the half marathon or the 10k distance. The half marathon begins at 9:30 AM, with the 10k starting at 10:00 AM, structuring the day around two distinct races within the same reservoir-side location.
The course follows undulating trail paths around Carsington Water, rather than a flat terrain. Kilometer markers are placed along the route, and event staff offer encouragement to runners en route to the finish. Entry includes water, post-race refreshments, and a themed medal.
