The Chester Half Marathon is an annual road running event held in the city of Chester, United Kingdom.

History

It was first run in 1982 [1] using a route that started and finished at the Chester Racecourse via Blacon, Saughall and Sealand.

In 1993, the race was organised by Chester and Ellesmere Port Athletic Club; they moved the route to the south of the City, going out and back via Eccleston, Belgrave and Pulford. West Cheshire AC took over in 1998 and, in 2012, Active Leisure Events provided the organisation with a new route finishing outside the town hall and Chester Cathedral.
