Choose between a 5k, 10k or half marathon as you storm the closed streets of Cheshire heading out into the Cheshire countryside.
The routes follow a professionally marked and measured single loop from Macclesfield Leisure Centre’s athletics track, taking in the sights of the town and the surrounding countryside roads.
This picturesque race is made even more popular by live performances from local bands, aid stations and communities of cheering spectators, including the support of Macclesfield Harriers AC.
Reg fee and sponsorship target depend on the distance selected.
