The MBNA Chester Metric Marathon is the UK's original Metric Marathon (26.6km) and forms part of the MBNA Chester Marathon weekend which won the UK's best marathon 3 years in a row.
It's a great challenge for half marathon runners and an ideal stepping stone if you're aiming for a full marathon in the future. This event Sells Out every year, enter early to avoid disappointment, especially if you are after the 2025 Chester Triple Medal! You won't want to miss the amazing race day atmosphere.
The event boasts a lively city centre start and finish, with a route that passes all Chester's iconic landmarks, then heads out into the Cheshire countryside, where they will meet up with the full marathon runners, returning to Chester along the banks of the River Dee for an unforgettable finish and all the enthusiasm you could ask for from the Cestrian supporters who line the course to cheer you on.
MCH Charity fundraises to enhance the excellent work of Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and to support our community. We grant funds which pay for things considered over and above basic NHS provision and which improve care and experience for patients and support staff wellbeing. Our funds help to provide state-of-the-art equipment, new facilities, art and all the added extras that make people’s experience at our hospitals and in our community services the best it can be. We couldn’t do any of this without the support of amazing people like you who choose to raise funds for their local NHS services. Taking on a physical challenge is the perfect way to help us to continue our work and we look forward to supporting you throughout your fundraising journey.
