Chester Spring 5
A 5 mile road race first held in 1993 from the Cheshire County Sports Club playing fields. The start is on tarmac, the finish on grass. Race limit 400.
The race route uses gently undulating country lanes, generally downhill within the first two miles. At half way there is a short climb before easing to a gradual rise, most of the last mile back to the playing fields is flat. Despite the fall and rise of the course fast times have been recorded.
In 2006 Peter Riley set the course record at 23:23, a year earlier (2005) Jenny Clague set the ladies' record at 27:18 and the ‘Vet’ record is held from 1977 by Mike Girvan at 24:29.
Held On Wednesday 7th April 2010 at 7 pm
On Day Entry fees: £8 or £6 for registered club members with a licence number.
