Training Runs & Plans
Training runs
Why not come along and join us? We'll have a range of pace runner led groups and everybody is welcome.
We usually meet at The Little Roodee Car Park* CH1 1SL ready to run at 9am.
It's a traffic free route out and back along the river path.
These free training runs give runners the opportunity to run with others and chat about their training, gaining valuable advice, tips and encouragement as we prepare the MBNA Chester Marathon & Metric Marathon in October.
Thanks to those of you who have joined us for previous runs this year.
Our Marathon and Metric Marathon training runs leading up to the 2025 races will be announced soon.
