2026 MBNA Chester 10K

Join us at the MBNA Chester 10K - 8th March 2026

The MBNA Chester 10K is the only city based 10K in Chester. Don't miss your chance to start your 2026 Chester Triple Medal journey. The 9th edition of this multi-award winning and sell out event is a great introductory race for new runners and an ideal stepping stone if you're aiming for a half marathon in the future.

The event boasts a lively city centre start and finish, with a route that passes many of Chester's iconic landmarks. Runners will head north-west out of the City, through the picturesque village of Mollington before returning to the heart of Chester for a spectacular finish, with all the enthusiasm you could ask for from the Cestrian supporters, under a backdrop of the Eastgate Clock.
