The Mini Marathon will start at 10:20 on 2nd October, shortly after the MBNA Marathon and Metric Marathon have started.
The Mini Marathon is open to anyone wanting to run, however, it is aimed primarily at children and places are limited. Parents, guardians and grandparents are also welcome to enter.
If you wish to run with your child, you must also enter yourself. This is to ensure that the number of people on course is safe for all ages.
Each Mini Marathon participant will be given a souvenir race T-shirt* and race number, with all finishers receiving a bespoke medal, bottle of water and a treat.
Numbers and T-shirts must be collected from the Help Desk at Chester Racecourse on the MBNA Chester Marathon race weekend. Collection times are between 14:00 and 17:00 on Saturday 1st October and between 07:30 and 10:00 on race day.
If you have not collected your number by 10:00 on race day, the race charity may sell your place to another runner and they will keep all the proceeds from any sale to support their vital services.
Entry Prices:
