X-border 10K

One of the treats of this race – now in its eighth year – is that over a distance of just 6.25 miles you and 450 or so other runners will travel to another country under your own steam. The road route takes you from Kingmoor Park in Carlisle, England, to a rather raucous finish outside Greens Hotel in Gretna, just across the border in Scotland. Buses will then take runners back to Kingmoor Park. Passports and visas are not required to make the crossing, but some warm layers most definitely are. You have been warned.
