About the race
Cheshire - Delamere Forest is a Race for Life event held at Delamere Forest, Linmere, Northwich (CW8 2JD) on Sunday 16 May 2027. The event is organised by Cancer Research UK and offers timed running options over multiple distances.
The course is a single lap that begins with a loop of the lake and continues on scenic forest paths and local countryside tracks. Surfaces include undulating gravel and woodland paths that may become muddy in poor weather. The route includes several inclines and finishes with a climb to Old Pale Hill, from where participants descend back to the event site beside the visitor centre. The start and finish areas are on mostly flat hardstanding with shale underfoot. An alternative route can bypass some inclines but may shorten the course.
