When? 9th March 2025 at 09:00

2025 will be the 8th running of this multi-award winning, sell-out, must run race and the first race in the 2025 Chester Triple Medal series! The MBNA Chester 10K is Chester’s only city-based 10K, it’s the best City Centre 10K in the North West and is the first event of the Chester Triple Series. Join us for what will be an amazing day. This event sells out every year!

This fast course starts from Nuns Road next to the iconic Chester Racecourse and heads north-west out of the City along wide roads allowing runners to rapidly settle into race pace, then passing close to the picturesque village of Mollington, before returning to the heart of Chester City centre passing the historic Victorian town hall and Medieval Cathedral, before finishing on Eastgate Street with a spectacular backdrop of the Eastgate Clock.

Join the increasing number of runners, participating in the Chester 10K for charity. This can either be with our official race charity the West Cheshire Food Bank or your own cherished cause. Visit our Charity page here.
