On race day, roads will be closed to ensure the safety of runners, spectators and members of the public. We aim to create as small a footprint as possible to minimise disruption to residents and businesses, and to work with local communities to help them to benefit from the event.

Roads that remain open will be busy, delays will be likely and diversions will be in place during the road closures. Some bus services will also be affected and may be diverted. Roads will only be closed for the minimum period necessary to ensure safety.

Our route and associated road closure times are agreed by CWaC council and Cheshire Police in order to safely accommodate the event.

The interactive map below shows the road closures for the event and will always show the most up to date plan. Please note that roads will only reopen when it is safe to do so. We hope the information on this page will assist you with planning your travel.  If you require further advice, please email [email protected].
