Ready, Set, Run Cheshire
Run Cheshire has been putting on races across the county since 2015, from your first 5K to your tenth half marathon. What started as a handful of local road races has grown into a proper calendar, but the idea has stayed the same: a well organised, enjoyable day out for runners of every ability.
Behind every race is a team of marshals who genuinely love the sport, cheering you on whether you’re chasing a personal best or just trying to finish standing up. Add a flat, fast route through Cheshire’s best countryside, and you’ve got a race worth turning up for.

Race calendar
Starting beside the magnificent Colshaw Hall, this popular 10k follows fast, closed roads through the Cheshire countryside and past the iconic Lovell Telescope. Pacemakers, enthusiastic support and a welcoming atmosphere make it an appealing race for runners of every ability.
The Huxley 5 Mile offers a rare opportunity to race a classic distance on a flat, rapid route through rural Cheshire. With Beeston Castle on the horizon, generous prizes and convenient facilities near the start and finish, it promises speed without sacrificing character.
Held on closed roads in Kingsley every May and August, the Mid Cheshire 5k combines a lightning-fast course with an electric Friday-evening atmosphere. Seeded starts place runners alongside athletes of similar ability, creating the ideal setting for personal bests and championship racing.
The Pulford 10k brings a high-quality field to the pancake-flat “Magic Triangle”, one of the UK’s fastest road-racing courses. With World Athletics-standard measurement, smooth turns and a lively competitive edge, it is built for runners chasing exceptional times.
Run on the renowned “Magic Triangle”, the Pulford 5k gives athletes a fresh chance to test themselves on one of the country’s quickest routes. World Athletics certification, substantial cash prizes and a straightforward Friday-evening format should attract a fast and ambitious field.
This scenic point-to-point trail half marathon carries runners from Bickerton to Kelsall through spectacular countryside overlooking Cheshire and North Wales. Waymarked paths, two aid stations and a famously supportive atmosphere make it a rewarding challenge for adventurous runners.
Our pop-up race returns several times a year to the flat, sheltered circuit at Shrewsbury Cycle Centre. Graded races of just over five laps place runners alongside others of a similar standard, with excellent facilities and a lively atmosphere for athletes and spectators alike.

From the finish line
“My second Run Cheshire event was again well organised, with clear parking and number-collection guidance and plenty of toilets. Great support from marshals and Over Peover residents at the start, finish and along the course.”
Colshaw Hall 10k
“Well-seeded start groups helped runners settle into evenly matched packs and kept the opening stages flowing smoothly. The quick countryside course offers strong PB potential, although its gentle mid-race rise rewards careful pacing. This was my third time racing Mid Cheshire and, once again, it absolutely delivered. The event always attracts a really strong field and there’s something hugely motivat-ing about lining up alongside so many athletes all chasing fast times. From the warm-up onwards, the atmosphere felt geared towards quick running.”
Mid Cheshire 5k
“The race was a high-quality event and consequently it attracted a star-studded entry and included some of the top runners in the country, who competed against each other in order to bid for international selection. Everyone was so rapid… never been at a race with so many super serious runners.”
Pulford 10k
