The event organisers pride themselves on being runners themselves and have designed a route that spans the largely flat, stunning city and the beautiful countryside. Combine this fast route with enthusiastic support from the ever-so-friendly locals and hydration/refreshment stations, and it makes an unforgettable event. Alongside your charity, the event organisers offer support through monthly training sessions & seminars.

The Chester Marathon is famous for being an enjoyable event and has won many awards over the years, including Runner's World's best marathon of the year and Sweatshop's best mass-participation award.
