The Wilmslow Half Marathon is an annual half marathon road running race, established in 1984 and usually run in March.[1]

Course

The race starts to the west of Wilmslow,Cheshire and to the South of Manchester Airport. The course is a single loop and runs through the villages of Morley, Cheshire and Mobberley, finishing near the start.[2]

The course was remeasured in 2016 as the same measuring equipment had been used that incorrectly measured the Greater Manchester Marathon.[3]

Incidents

The 2018 edition of the event had to be cancelled due to bad weather. [4] It was rearranged to June.
