AT least eight runners from Warrington will be taking part in the Chester Half Marathon, on Sunday May 12.
The run, renowned for its fast course and historic setting, is one of the most popular city centre road events in the UK.
Most of the runners have a story to tell – about fundraising for a good cause, an inspiring personal challenge or a story that tugs at the heart strings.
General entries have now completely sold out, however limited places are still available through the race charity Northern Lights. To find out more, go to www.chesterhalfmarathon.co.uk
