Macclesfield, United Kingdom
The Macclesfield Running Festival October 2026 is a community-focused road running event promoted by RunThrough Events, offering a Half Marathon, 10K and 5K on Sunday 18 October 2026. Races start and finish at Macclesfield Leisure Centre’s athletics track and the course routes take runners through the historic town and out into the Cheshire countryside. The event is described as fully road-closed for all distances and is supported by local groups including Macclesfield Harriers AC, with live musical performances and an event village to create a lively race-day atmosphere.
Entries include a unique themed medal, chip-timed results and free official event photos, with post-race goodies and aid stations available on course. The Half Marathon has a strict three-hour cut-off due to road closures and the organiser provides pre-race communications by email with further event information sent closer to race day. Participants may purchase event apparel via the organiser’s kit partner, and RunThrough highlights sustainability efforts and local partnerships in event materials.
