The Wilmslow Half Marathon is an annual half marathon road running race, established in 1984 and usually run in March as part of the Wilmslow Running Festival.[1]
The race starts to the west of Wilmslow, Cheshire and to the south of Manchester Airport. The course is a single loop and runs through the villages of Morley, Cheshire and Mobberley, finishing near the start.[2] It uses country lanes, which are closed to traffic. It has been described as a 'beautiful Cheshire countryside course that is both fast and flat - a PB course!'[citation needed]
The course was remeasured in 2016 as the same measuring equipment had been used that incorrectly measured the Greater Manchester Marathon.[3]
In 2019, the Wilmslow Half Marathon became part of 'Wilmslow Running Festival' and also included a 10k and Fun Run race.
