Bluebell2325 Mar 2014 8:38pm, 22 Mar 2014 338 posts	0 Bluebell2325 My local Brampton to Carlisle road race, which is ran by the Border a Harriers, claims to be the oldest 10 mile road race in the United Kingdom. Which sounds impressive, but is quite low key and very no frills. 2013 was the sixty second running of the race and I hope it continues for many years as I love it!
