You start and finish in Chester city centre. The route passes the city's landmarks, heads out into the Cheshire and North Wales countryside, then returns beside the River Dee. Roads are fully closed, and a six-hour cut-off applies because closures lift in line with that pace. You must be 18 or over. A metric marathon of 26.2 km runs on the same day, and Top Flight entry is available for runners with qualifying times.
