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.
Help us to give Hair and Hope to children and young people by providing wigs and funding vital research into childhood cancers. The charity provides around 2,000 real hair wigs every year to children and young people who have lost their own hair through cancer treatment or due to other conditions such as Alopecia. Each wig costs £550 to provide. Our wigs make a huge, positive difference to the lives of each recipient. We rely on events like these to help fund our free wig provision service. The Little Princess Trust is also now one of the largest funders of childhood cancer research in the UK and has committed more than £22 million to projects focused on finding kinder and more effective treatments for childhood cancers.
