MBNA Chester 10K

Chester welcomes runners of all abilities with its renowned MBNA Chester 10K, an annual highlight in the city’s race calendar. This well-regarded event is celebrated for being the only urban-based 10K within Chester and a cornerstone of the Chester Triple Series, offering participants who complete both the 10K and either the full marathon or metric half marathon that same year with unique rewards.
The course begins and ends in the vibrant heart of Chester’s city centre. Runners are greeted by enthusiastic crowds as they set off from Eastgate Street and pass through some of Chester's most iconic landmarks, including its historic walls and picturesque squares. The route heads northwest out of the city along wide roads that allow participants to quickly find their rhythm.
A notable highlight is a scenic detour into Mollington village, where runners enjoy a peaceful stretch before returning to the energetic streets of Chester for an unforgettable finish line on Eastgate Street. Here, Cestrian spectators provide an inspiring atmosphere as competitors cross the finish line under the watchful eye of the famous Eastgate Clock.
This event is not only perfect for newcomers looking to dip their toes into longer-distance racing but also serves as a stepping stone for those aiming at future half marathons or full marathons. Additionally, it hosts the England Athletics Age Group Masters 10K Championship, adding an extra layer of prestige and excitement to the race day.
Participants can look forward to receiving detailed information about their entry via email directly from the event organizers, ensuring they are well-prepared for a memorable running experience in Chester.
