Another classic Cheshire countryside road race brought back to the race calendar by us in 2014.  The course is beautifully scenic, well marshalled and last year provided many runners with PBs.  Like all our races we have the most up to date integrated chip-timing, free parking, free to download photographs and amazing bespoke medals.  This race is hugely popular with some of the fastest runners in the region as well as those testing themselves over the distance for the first time and everyone is welcome.

Another fantastic rural Cheshire course with a full road closure.  The course is scenic, well marshalled and last year provided many runners with PBs.

“What a lovely scenic course. A predominately flat 10k taking in some breath-taking scenery ~ how lucky we are to have such natural beauty on our doorstep. Car parking was easy – and free – and lots of toilet facilities. Registration was quick and easy. Well stocked water station at 5k and lots of very supportive marshals and spectators around the course. I’m already looking forward to next year. Thank you Bartlett’s Farndon 10k.”
