Macclesfield Running Festival Half Marathon, 10k & 5k Presented by Science in Sport on Sunday 26th October 2025

Hosted in Collaboration with Macclesfield Harriers and Previously Known as ‘run Macc Fest’

we are excited to announce the return of the 5k, 10k & Half Marathon this October!

You will enjoy a fully road closed half marathon, 10k and 5k races, starting and finishing in the historic town of Macclesfield and heading out into the Cheshire countryside.

The routes follow a professionally marked and measured single loop from Macclesfield Leisure Centre’s athletics track, taking in the sights of the town and the surrounding countryside roads.

This picturesque race is made even more popular by live performances from local bands, aid stations and communities of cheering spectators including the support of Macclesfield Harriers AC.

Your entry will include:

Chip timed results

Unique themed medal (Previous design pictured)

Free official event photos

Post race goodies

Come and enjoy the day with us; we hope to see you there!

T-Shirts at events have been a hot topic mainly around them not being a high enough quality to wear on a regular basis. So we have decided to tackle this by offering a RunThrough Kit Technical T-Shirt with a retail value of £22 for £12 with the addition of the event logo printed on the chest.
