About this event
The MBNA Chester Marathon offers the unusual distinction of crossing from England into Wales and back during a single race. The flat, traffic-free course passes Chester's Roman Walls, Cathedral and ancient Amphitheatre before rolling through Cheshire and North Wales countryside, finishing beside the River Dee. With 19 miles in England and 7 in Wales, the route attracts runners targeting personal bests and championship qualifying times. A shorter Metric Marathon at 26.2 kilometres provides a stepping stone for those working toward the full 42.195-kilometre distance. Strong community support lines the streets, and finishers receive bespoke medals and technical shirts alongside post-race celebrations that honour the international crossing.
