James Tose, CEO of Carlisle United Community Sports Trust, remarked: “We are thrilled to unveil the Carlisle United Community Sports Trust Fun Run.

At CUFC CST, health and wellbeing are at the core of our mission, making this a superb opportunity for children in our community to engage in a fun event where their families can come out and cheer them on.”

Ian Milburn, Event Director for Run Carlisle, stated: “We’re now in our sixth year with the Carlisle Half Marathon and 10k. We conducted the Fun Run during the initial years but found it overwhelming to handle.

“James and I met in 2024 and explored the possibility of involving CUFC CST in reviving the Fun Run, and here we are.

“We are pleased to have this partnership with CUFC CST and anticipate a wonderful day ahead.”

Mike Deans, Managing Director of Borderway Finance, added: “We’re happy to support CUFC CST in their remarkable efforts to inspire and enhance the development of our community through sports.”
