"A scenic road race through rural countryside, passing through the Cheshire villages of Dunham on the Hill, Mouldsworth, Manley and Helsby. Accurately measured (certificate number 11/071, measured 2 January 2012), with 170m of climbing."
"Limited free parking at Helsby Sports & Social Club for those who arrive early, WA6 0DL. Main parking at Helsby High School, WA6 0HY. Free shuttle bus to transport runners the 1.7 miles to the Helsby Community Sports Centre. Please use the official race parking in preference to using other areas of Helsby. Your co-operation is much appreciated, minimising car use and good control of parking is one of the conditions of the extra places we've negotiated this year, please don't jeopardise this. We hope to have parking at Mere's Edge too. The race leaflet (read below) will have final parking arrangements so please read it before race day!"
Despite snow the night before, 24 members completed the Helsby Half Marathon, with 6 getting PBs, well done all.
After the half marathon.
The race was canceled in 2015 due to icy conditions on the roads.
The club had a big turnout on a lovely day for running for this half marathon. At least 8 members produced PBs! and there were a few debuts.
The race was not run in 2013 because of snowy conditions.
