Mid Cheshire 5K (Summer) 2026
The Mid Cheshire 5K is an evening road race taking place in the Cheshire countryside. The event utilizes a route established in 2013, known for its flat and fast profile. The course records currently stand at 13.45 for men and 15.11 for women.
Participants compete on a 5 km distance. The race is held on Ball Lane in Kingsley, which operates under a full rolling road closure to ensure a traffic-free environment for all runners. The event organizers implement a seeded start system to manage the flow of participants.
A race headquarters is located in a field on Mill Lane. Parking is provided in nearby fields, and participants are directed by signage and marshals on the day. Refreshments are provided for all finishers.
Registration is open to participants aged 13 and over. The entry fee is £28.00, with a discount available for UK Athletics members. Transfers to other runners are permitted through the registration system until a few days before the event, though the organizers do not offer refunds or deferrals. The event has previously served as the host for the England Athletics 5K championships. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
