MBNA Chester Marathon 2025
Take part in an award-winning marathon, set in the historic Roman Medieval destination, the great city of Chester.
The event organisers pride themselves on being runners themselves and have designed a route spanning the largely flat city, as well as the beautiful countryside.
The Chester Marathon is famous for being an enjoyable event and has won many awards over the years including the Runners’ World best marathon of the year and sweatshop’s best mass participation award.

Wooden Spoon works with some event suppliers to provide a platform for our members and supporters to fundraise for the charity. There is a cost to the charity to administer these events and therefore we have set minimum fundraising levels which we view as achievable based on previous participants. It is at Wooden Spoon’s discretion whether to allow the participants to take part or not for the charity, if fundraising levels are not met. Thanks for your understanding.
