View all races for Oct 2026

The Congleton Half Marathon is an established road race through the Cheshire countryside, taking runners onto quiet rural lanes surrounding the town. The course is held on closed roads and provides a scenic setting for the 13.1 mile distance, with Race HQ at Black Firs Primary School and the start nearby on Somerford Lane.

Runners can expect an accurately marked course that encourages confident pacing while still providing a rewarding countryside challenge. The route winds through peaceful lanes and open rural surroundings, away from busy town roads. Clear route signage, marshals and well placed water stations support runners around the course, with chip timing recording performances from start to finish.

The event brings together the atmosphere of a traditional local half marathon with the organisation of a fully managed road race. Rural scenery and closed roads create a strong setting for runners chasing a fast time, stepping up to 13.1 miles or simply enjoying a well supported race through the countryside.
