Set in Solway which is in a very remote part of Cumbria. The race starts in Anthorn and moves around the area of Solway in a anticlockwise direction all on the roads. Very little traffic past on the route and it was well marshalled with drink stations.
A great small race which I would do again, just hopefully it isn't as windy from mile 6-11

Run was cancelled with 4 days to go due to ‘logistical reasons’, and haven’t heard a peep from them since. Communication is always welcome and looks like it’s sadly lacking here.
Dear Mark,
Thanks for your feedback, we realise the communication that was received leading up to the event was only to cancel the race and ideally we would have liked to have made sure this was communicated earlier.
Our focus is now on making sure next years races goes ahead at the start of June 2024.
We hope to see you there.
