MBNA Chester Metric Marathon

The main event of the day is the marathon itself which is on a wonderful route mixing city centre sights and rural villages in both England and North Wales, with amazing support from the 700+ volunteers and friendly locals.

Organised by runners for runners, this aims to be the 'perfect race'; a premier quality, competitively priced race which caters for the needs of runners of all abilities and speeds, combined with friendliness and personal touches which are unique to this event series. A rare Metric Marathon and Mini Marathon make the day exciting and inclusive for all abilities!
