Join us for the inaugural Warrington Running Festival. Run a Half Marathon, 10k, 5k and Junior race in and around Warrington Town Centre. Starting and finishing at the Town Hall’s iconic Golden Gates, this new event has a road closed, a flat and fast route that will provide the perfect opportunity to push yourself to a chip timed, personal best.
The Warrington Running Festival is a brand new event for Warrington. We at RunThrough Events have been delivering successful and highly regarded running events for 7 years; including the London Half Marathon, Cheshire 10k, Run Tatton, Run Aintree, Blackburn 10k, Leicestershire Half, Hertfordshire Half, Hampton Court Palace Half Marathon and many more, with over 120,000 runners running a RunThrough event in 2019 alone.
We would like to respectfully make clear that neither this event nor any person within the RunThrough Events organising team or structure has any association with the previously staged English Half Marathon, its organisers or company owners in any way.
St Rocco’s Hospice provides specialist care and support across Warrington, helping those who are coping with a life-limiting illness and their loved ones. It costs around £5.2 million each year to run the hospice – which means we need to raise £15,000 each and every day just to keep running. We are proud to be a Hospice without Walls offering care both in the Hospice building with our 10 bed in patient unit and Vitality Centre and out in the community with our Hospice at home service. In the Vitality Centre patients can receive physiotherapy and complementary therapy like reiki. We also have a family support team that are dedicated to helping those touched by terminal illness. All of these services focus on enabling people to live life to the full and are provided free to patients and their families, but we can only do this because of the generosity of the local community. We focus on the positives. Supporting patients physically, psychologically and emotionally to enable them to carry on living the lives they want to live for as long as possible. We aim to help them improve the quality of life for them and for their loved ones.
