Walking tours a little too slow for your taste? Soon you will be able to go on a running tour of Chester .

Tourists could see the city in a different light.

Chester Running Tours are hoping to show off the sights in a different way from March.

They promise a 'social, fun, and informative experience'.

The runs will take in Chester's landmarks and give runners the chance to learn about its history too.

CRT founder Gareth Boyd said: “When visiting Chicago a few years ago, I went on a similar tour and it was great! I had a guide, learnt interesting facts and came away with many happy memories and photos.

"It’s a refreshing and unique way for tourists (and those living nearby) to explore and learn more about the historic city."

Their schedule of events starts from March 4. For more information visit the Chester Running Tours website here .
