Race overview
About Tarpley 20
The Tarpley 20 is a well-known 20-mile road race in Cheshire, widely used by runners as a key benchmark in the final stages of marathon training. Alongside it, the event also offers a 10-mile race, providing a shorter option on the same day.
The course follows rural country lanes with a rolling, undulating profile that challenges pacing and endurance. While not a flat PB-focused route, it offers a strong training stimulus for marathon preparation, particularly for runners looking to build resilience over longer distances.
Organised by Chester Road Runners, the event has a long-standing reputation within the local running community and delivers a friendly, well-supported race-day experience.
