runMid Cheshire 5k
Quite simply one of the fastest 5k road races anywhere in the country. We would love you to join us at our lightning quick 5k in a fantastic location in the heart of the Cheshire countryside. This course was the fastest in the UK in 2018 and has course records of 13.45 and 15.28.
Race instructions will be emailed and race numbers will be posted approximately one week before race day.
There will be no transfers or entries after the date in your confirmation email as we need to seed runners into the two races and numerous waves in those races.
There will be parking, a scaled down Race HQ and toilets in the fields close to the start area. Please use the postcode WA6 8HL
The race starts and finishes on nearby Ball Lane where a full rolling road closure will allow you to concentrate on the race and not the oncoming traffic. In only four years this race has cemented itself into the national road racing calendar with runners travelling from across the country to take part and has twice recently staged the England Athletics 5k Road Race championships.

NOT SURE?FAQS
Full list of road closure details available on this link in the weeks building up to the race.
Each runner will be issued with a race number with a disposable timing chip attached to the back in their race pack. This system is user friendly. All you need to do is remember your race number. The disposable system allows runners to have more flexibility at the finish line, since the removal of the chip is not required.
If you are using the single use chip, please ensure the following to receive an accurate time:
- Race bib is clearly visible on the front of the torso
- Race bib is unaltered and unmodified
- Race bib is pinned in all four corners
- Race bib is not covered (jackets, runner belts, water bottles, etc.)
Please note: The race number allocated to you is for use by you only. Please do not pass on the race number unless you have completed the online transfer. The transfer entry closing date is on your confirmation email.
