Delamere Forest 10K, 21K and 42K
Delamere Forest events take runners onto marked forest trails around Delamere Forest Visitor Centre in Northwich CW8 2JD. Routes run deep into the forest and pass features such as Blakemere Moss, the Sandstone Trail and Old Pale Hill. The marathon is configured as a two-lap course and has an elevation gain of 637 m.
Entries include a themed finisher medal, free race photos, chip-timed results, post-race goodies and a bag drop. Route guidance uses trail flags, tags, A5 arrows and signage, with marshals at major junctions and a GPX file provided so participants can check and follow the route.
Aid stations are positioned on the marathon loop and the half marathon loop; the 10K does not pass a water station. Aid stations provide water, electrolyte drink, fruit, brownies and sweets; gels are not supplied at every station. The event village offers food and drink options and race pack collection on the day. A group warm-up is organised before each race start.
Access details note that Delamere train station is a short walk from the event village and runner parking is available in Whitefield Car Park, about a 15 minute walk to the village. The course is not suitable for wheelchair athletes or buggy runners. Dogs may attend as spectators on a lead within the event village only.
