The Return of the Magic Mile
Saturday 4th April 2026 saw the long-awaited return of the Magic Mile at the Sheepmount in Carlisle and what a fantastic comeback it was! After many years away, it was brilliant to bring this much-loved event back and the support from our running community was amazing.
The atmosphere on the track was electric, with runners of all abilities and ages coming together to test themselves over the mile distance. There’s nothing quite like the Magic Mile locally, a chance to push your limits and see just how fast you can go on the track. We witnessed some outstanding performances and impressive times across the board, a real testament to the effort and enthusiasm of everyone involved. A huge well done to you all- we hope you are as chuffed with your times as we are!
A huge thank you goes to everyone who took part and supported the event and to those who generously donated to our club charity The Well Communities. Your contributions are greatly appreciated.
Special thanks must also go to Julie, Gail, Mark, and Lindsay for coordinating the event so smoothly and to Barry Scott for coming along to take photos- we will share them in due course. And thank you to The Sheepmount for hosting us once again. We really appreciate your support in making the event such a success.
To top it all off, we celebrated afterwards with some well-earned Easter goodies – the perfect way to round off a brilliant day of running.
We’ll be announcing the date of our next Magic Mile in the coming weeks, so keep an eye out. In the meantime, if you enjoyed being back on the track, don’t forget we hold a monthly track session – all are very welcome to come along.
Here’s to many more Magic Miles to come! Now for the results…..
