Cheshire - Delamere Forest 10k
The event takes place at Delamere Forest, Linmere, Northwich (CW8 2JD). It offers multiple race distances:
- 10k
- 5k
- 3k
The course begins with a loop around the lake inside Delamere Forest, continues along forest paths and local countryside tracks, and finishes back at the event site beside the visitor centre and café. The route is a single lap on mainly gravel and woodland paths, with several inclines and a climb to the top of Old Pale Hill that provides views of the seven surrounding counties. In poor weather the woodland sections may become muddy. An alternative route can bypass some inclines but may shorten the course.
The start and finish areas are on hardstanding that is mostly flat with shale underfoot. The venue is not wheelchair accessible. Blue Badge parking is available approximately 100 m from the event site on tarmac paths. General parking is in the main forest car park next to the visitor centre; Delamere Train Station is about 300 m from the site. There are no electric vehicle charging points and limited bike rack space.
Entry prices range from £5.50 to £8.74 and a minimum fundraising target of £50 applies. The event provides a fundraising pack, a customisable back sign, training plans, access to an online community, and a Race for Life medal. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
