Sunday 31st May 2026


Event Details
Once again we holding our fourth Run the Edge, a Multi-terrain running event festival. Their will be 2 main events and also a 1 mile family fun run. The main events will consist of a longer "Run the Edge" 11.75km run and a Lighthouse 5km run. As both events are multi-terrain, distances are approximate. Both events will start and finish at Millom Rugby Union Football Club, Wilson Park, Haverigg, Millom, LA18 4GY with both events following the Cumbrian Coastal path. The shorter route will pass along Millom Sea Wall, will go around the Lighthouse at approximately 2.5km and return along the sea wall to the finish at the Rugby Club. The longer event will again pass along Millom Sea Wall but instead of looping back will continue further along the Coastal Path on to Millom and return. Both events will take in the breath taking views and scenic views around the Duddon Estuary (an SSSI site) and the Lake District’s Southern Lakeland fells towards Blackcombe, Whitecombe, Coniston Old Man and Scafell Pike.

Refund Policy

Refunds

Organising a race incurs considerable costs which are met a long time before race day and so individual refunds will only ever be issued at the Race Organiser’s discretion. For a refund to be considered, full details must be emailed to us for consideration within a reasonable time frame of the event. 

We do not refund any admin fees that were applied on top of the base Entry fee paid.

Cancellations    

We hold the rights to amend/cancel any aspect of an event at late notice. Cancellation will only ever be a last resort for us, and we will always take direction on event cancellations from government agencies (e.g. the Met Office for weather related incidents) and the National Governing Body concerned, in addition to our assessment of the local conditions.
In the event of any cancellation, if it possible to reschedule the event to a different date in the same calendar year then all entries will be automatically transferred to the new date. Deferrals and transfers will be permitted for the rescheduled event.

Where an event cannot be rescheduled, committed contractors will be paid and remaining funds will be offered as partial refunds.
