2011 Race
MBNA Chester Marathon 9th October 2011
Building on the success of the inaugural MBNA Chester Marathon
in May 2010 and in response to feedback from runners, we have
developed an exciting new route which incorporates Chester's iconic
landmarks and allows us to increase the number of runners.
At MBNA Chester Marathon we aim to put the runner first by
organising a world class event. Our race will start and finish at
Chester Racecourse which will provide a spectacular backdrop with
outstanding facilities for both runners and spectators.
The route will be on closed roads with only 123m of climb,
covering 17 miles in England and 9 miles in Wales. You will enjoy a
great atmosphere in the city before heading out to the Cheshire and
North Wales villages, returning along the banks of the River Dee
for a grandstand finish at the Racecourse.
Drinks stations will be at every 2.5 to 3 miles, with bottled
water and sports drinks. There will be chip timing with halfway
splits. All finishers will receive a quality goody bag, as well as
a technical T-shirt and a bespoke medal.
Chester, as an international destination city, has much to offer
visitors, including the Roman walls and amphitheatre, shopping on
its unique split-level Rows dating from the Middle Ages, the famous
Eastgate Clock, museums and the world renowned Chester Zoo.
