Defeat Delamere

Defeat Delamere

Defeat Delamere takes place on 13 September 2026 at Delamere Forest, Frodsham. Participants collect their race pack, including race number and timing chip, at on-the-day registration. A collective warm-up session is held for all entrants before the race.

Runners follow forest trails with varied terrain, including extended downhill stretches and straightaways. The course requires changes in pace and direction as runners move toward the finish line.

Race options include:

• 5k, age 14 or older, fee £25
• 10k, age 15 or older, fee £30
• 16k, age 16 or older, fee £40
• Junior Race, age 4 or older, includes an accompanying chaperone place, fee £15

Entry benefits include a race pack with race number, timing chip and safety pins, a finisher medal, a finisher t-shirt and post race hydration. Parking is available at Whitefield car park. The onsite Delamere Forest visitor centre café offers hot and cold drinks and light snacks, and the main toilet block is available to runners, spectators and volunteers. There is no formal bag drop onsite.

All funds raised support the organising charity. Participants are expected to read and agree to the event terms and conditions when they register. The charity also runs Roy’s Runners, a community of more than 3,500 runners, many of whom support fundraising activities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
