Cheshire 3 Peaks Half Marathon
The Cheshire 3 Peaks Half Marathon is a 13.1 mile loop starting and finishing at Tegg’s Nose Country Park above Macclesfield. The route visits the three highest tops in Cheshire and crosses a variety of terrain.
The course has 847 m of ascent and is described as quite hilly; many participants will include walking sections. A 4 hour overall cut off applies for completion, with a 2 hour 15 minute cut off at the road by the Cat & Fiddle.
From the park the route climbs to Tegg’s Nose, then descends to Tegg’s Nose Reservoir before a flatter stretch through Macclesfield Forest to Trentabank car park. The course then includes the ascent of Shuttlingsloe, downhill sections toward Clough House, and the final ascent to Shining Tor, the highest point in Cheshire. The closing miles are bumpy but not especially steep, with changing underfoot terrain.
The event began in 2025 and held a second edition in 2026. Course record times set in 2025 are 1:44:51 for men and 2:10:03 for women. Entries are offered at differing prices, including a standard entry and a member entry option. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
