Meet the organizer

We are on the western edge Helsby village, in Cheshire. From junction 14 on the M56, follow the A56 to Helsby and Frodsham. We meet at 6:30pm on Wednesday nights. Why not come along and give it a go? What have you got to lose? And don't worry about your ability. Club members range from the annoyingly good 6min milers to the more human 10min+ milers. We're keen to grow the club — beginners and experienced runners equally welcome! Summer is a great time to run with us — our routes usually take in Helsby and Frodsham hills. Then after the run it's back to the club house for a shower and the reason a lot of us run, a guilt-free beer!

Enjoyed this half, the weather was kind on the day - just thought the support was lacking at the finish. Nice scenery on the way round

I have ran this half marathon the past 3 years, it is now a staple race in my calendar and I look forward to the race every year! Well organised, such an amazing and challenging course and defiantly gave me the bug for racing.

Loved this race.Very well organised, may need more parking next year, had to park on side of road. Hats off to organisers who tried to ease this by advertising a car share service, maybe push this more along with other green initiatives.

Excellent course not flat but it does what it says on the tin can't fault the organisation or atmosphere both were brilliant The course was really well marshalled each one with a smile Lots of kids with cow bells over a lot of the hills really encouraging Well worth a visit Superb

Nice, local race. Great event Village. Undulating course. Love the 'medal' - different!More parking would be an added bonus. Goodie bag at the end very good but would prefer something more run friendly like a snood/buff as opposed to a race bag or t shirt that would never be used.
