Feedback from organisers, participants and supporters of the 34th Chester Half Marathon has been fantastic after the sell-out event on Sunday morning.

Chris Hulse, from Chester-based race organisers Active Leisure Events, said: “It’s been a fantastic event, both in terms of the race itself and the amazing support the runners received from many thousands of supporters up and down the course.

“The Chester Half Marathon puts this city on display to people from all over the country and there was a wonderful atmosphere all over the route and across the city centre.

“We’re always pleased when everything goes as well as it did today. We put a lot of hard work in to organising this event with the support of our partners, sponsors and volunteers, so we owe them a huge thank you for helping us to make it a success.

“The number of participants this year shows how popular the race has become – we hope every runner had a great time and we hope to see them back for more next year or making the step up to the MBNA Chester Marathon or MBNA Metric Marathon this October!”

Many of you tweeted @ChesterChron and @EPPioneer before, during and after the race.

Organisers believe that more than £750,000 will have been raised by fundraisers taking part in the event for various local and national charities.

Early bird entries for the 2016 Chester Half Marathon will open on Monday 18 May.

And finally, the team from the Bouverie pub in Garden Lane were exhausted just watching!
