About the race
MBNA Chester Marathon, held in Chester, Cheshire, is the flagship event from Active Leisure Events. The race offers two distances: a full marathon (26.2 miles) and a Metric Marathon (26.2 kilometres), both designed to showcase the city’s atmosphere and spectator support. All races are run under UKA rules and measured by the Association of UK Course Measurers, ensuring accuracy of the course.
Chester is also home to the Chester Triple Medal, rewarding runners who complete the Chester 10K, the Essar Chester Half Marathon, and either the Marathon or Metric Marathon in a year. The event is described as multi-award-winning and a three-time winner of the UK’s Best Marathon. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
