Cheshire 3 Peaks Half Marathon

As the name suggests, the route takes in the three highest tops in the county on a 13.1 mile loop.

You can be sure of a great variety of terrain on your way around this lovely loop from Tegg's Nose Country Park, above Macclesfield. The course, as its name suggests, is quite hilly, with 847m of ascent, meaning that there'll certainly be some walking involved for most, but it remains inclusive with a generous 4-hour cut-off for completion.

From the centre, you're straight up to Tegg's Nose and the views open up instantly. An exciting descent to Tegg's nose reservoir then leads to a fairly flat section through Macclesfield forest, before the tough ascent of Shuttlingsloe....it's shapely profile looming on the approach. Amazing views on top - you'll see much of the rest of your route here...and you'll soon be heading down towards Clough House and up into the hills again. Runners cross the main road by the Cat and Fiddle and begin the ascent to the last of the three peaks - Shining Tor, the highest in Cheshire!

The remaining miles of your half is bumpy, without being particularly hilly and the scenery and terrain beneath your feet is ever changing. A finish at Tegg's Nose where you'll the opportunity to replenish and enjoy your finish medal and instant results as you cross the finisher line!
