2027 Essar Chester Half Marathon
The 2027 Essar Chester Half Marathon is the 45th edition of this established half marathon. The event is organised by Active Leisure Events Ltd and takes place at Chester Racecourse, Watergate Street, CH1 2LY, UK. It also includes a qualifier for the England Athletics Age Group Masters Championships.
The course has a city centre start and finish and passes city centre sights and surrounding countryside. Supporters line sections of the route. The race is held under UK Athletics rules and is measured by the AUKCM. The minimum age on race day is 17.
Pre-race provisions include access to training plans, support and free training runs, and a personalised race pack sent by post for most entrants. Runners outside the UK must collect their race numbers at the event Help Desk. UKA affiliated runners receive a £2 discount at checkout.
Finisher inclusions are a technical T shirt, a bespoke medal and a goody bag with post race nutrition unless an entrant selects the Green Runner option. Green Runners do not receive the T shirt, medal or goody bag; the cost of those items is donated to the official race charity. The race offers on course hydration and nutrition, medical support, free official race photos and an online tracking service for supporters.
Entry fees shown in the event information range from £41.60 to £55.00. Entries are transferable to another runner before the event; places are non refundable and cannot be deferred to another year.
