Get involved in the award-winning marathon set in the historic Roman Medieval destination, the great city of Chester.
The event organisers pride themselves on being runners themselves and have designed a route that spans the largely flat stunning city as well as the beautiful countryside. Combine this fast route combined 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 in the form of monthly training sessions & seminars.
The Chester half marathon is famous for being an enjoyable event and has won many awards over the years including the Runner's World best marathon of the year and sweatshop's best mass participation award.
Leukaemia Care is a national blood cancer support charity. We are dedicated to ensuring that anyone affected by blood cancer receives the right information, advice and support. A diagnosis of a blood cancer can have a huge impact on someone emotionally, as well as physically. We understand that feelings of shock, anger and loneliness are all common at the time of diagnosis, during treatment and recovery and having someone to talk to, as well as the right information available can be a huge comfort. We not only support patients, but carers and families too who can often carry a lot of the emotional strain when someone they love is diagnosed with a blood cancer. We focus on the support that is needed now to help those affected by blood cancer cope during a diagnosis and beyond.
