We take a look back at the charity ‘Pints and Pieathlon’ fun run in Whitehead between 2016 and 2023.

The event sees runners don fancy dress to follow a four mile circuit around the area - with a pie and a pint to mark each mile.

The popular race has raised funds for several different charities over the years, from Whitehaven Respite Centre during 2016’s inaugural event to Music and Mind for the upcoming 2025 run.

Can you spot any familiar faces?
