Congleton Running Festival January 2027
The Congleton Running Festival on 24 January 2027 takes place in Congleton, Cheshire, with race activity centred at Back Lane Playing Field. The event offers multiple road races on a course that uses quiet lanes and scenic countryside, operating under road closures.
The event includes these distances:
- Half Marathon
- 10k
- 5k
The route is clearly signed and marshals are positioned at key points. Each mile is marked and live chip timing records results. Water stations are provided at approximately every 5 km and there are portable toilets in the event village and about halfway along the course. There is a three hour cut-off because of the road closures and the minimum age for the half marathon is 17.
Event facilities include a secure baggage area, an event village with food and drink options, post race goodies and a unique themed medal for finishers. Free professional race photos are provided and results are chip timed. There is no specific event parking, so attendees should plan travel and parking in advance. The event is accessible to participants using prams and wheelchairs. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
