 Shell Round the Walls Race

This multi-terrain race has had many variations of its route since 1972. The route currently is about 4.5 miles, starts on the Roodee and then, weather dependant, follows almost the full length of the path on top of the Roman/Medieval walls and finishes back on the Race Course.
A new course was used in 2007 due to a closure of a section of the Walls. As the reconstruction of the collapsed section is not complete yet it meant the 2007 course was earmarked for 2009. Hopefully for 2010 we will be able to revert to the original course round the walls.

Boxing Day, 11:00am      Start on Chester Roodee Racecourse

Ice on the planned race route confined the 2009 race to the Roodee.
