Take on a challenge at the Chester Half Marathon 

The Chester Half Marathon offers one of the flattest routes in many years, running past some of Chester's iconic historical landmarks and with a spectacular city centre finish.

The route starts at Chester racecourse, before heading out to the picturesque villages of Mollington and Lea by Backford. Strong support from the villages and communities along the course is one of the many highlights of the race. 

The finish in the City Centre outside the Town Hall and Cathedral provides an inspiring setting with cheering crowds of welcoming spectators.
