ChesCo Race Fest #3 : March 7, 2026, Wayne, PA
The ChesCo Race Fest #3 takes place on Saturday, March 7, 2026, at 500 Lee Road, Wayne, PA. It is the second annual event and serves as the final leg of the ChesCo Winter Series. The event offers multiple race options:
- 13.1 miles (1/2 Marathon) - open to ages 11+
- 26.2 miles (Marathon) - open to ages 14+
- 50 kilometers (50K) - open to ages 14+
- Marathon Relay (4-person)
Course and logistics
The course uses a park loop of 1.25 miles that is described as fairly flat. Races start in the center of the park, include a prologue partial lap to the perimeter, then proceed clockwise around the loop and finish at the Tot Lot Pavilion. Packet pick up is available race morning. The layout is spectator friendly because runners pass the finish area after each 1.25 mile loop; indoor heated bathrooms and a place to change are available, and participants can access their own fluids and food. Snacks, drinks, and pizza will be provided on site. Live results will be posted online and the event will have a livestream on YouTube. An overall time limit of eight hours applies to the event; this affects the 50K differently than the half and full marathon. The series uses a points system where the marathon has a 2x multiplier and the 50K a 3x multiplier. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
