Welcome to RunHalton.

NEWS......
2010 RESULTS ARE READY CLICK HERE.

THANKS FOR TAKING PART AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ALL AGAIN NEXT YEAR.

We were accredited Gold Standard by the British Association of Road Races - that means we are one of the best races in the Country! We were also inspected by BARR at this years race and the feedback once again is brilliant.

WE NOW HAVE A NEW SUPPORTER OF THE RACE WHICH MEANS THIS YEARS RACE IS SPONSORED BY WIDNES VIKINGS RUGBY LEAGUE. THE RACE WILL BE KNOWN AS WIDNES VIKINGS HALTON 5 MILE ROAD RACE. YOUR CHANCE TO RUN THE BRIDGE

Run Halton, The Widnes Vikings Halton 5 Mile Road Race, is organised by the Halton and Hale Road Race Committee, who between them have many years experience of organising races from the Liverpool Half Marathon and Womens 10k to a series of 5 mile races in the Merseyside and Cheshire regions.

This years runhalton race saw a record entry of nearly 750 runners. Thanks to all those who took part and helped us raise money for some worthwhile causes including Macmillan Cancer Support.

Results for all the races can be found on the past results page.

The Widnes Vikings Halton 5 Mile Road Race takes place each Easter Sunday, starting at 9.30am from Runcorn Railway Station, with the flat course travelling across the famous Runcorn Widnes Bridge and then on to the historic village of Hale at the very western tip of the Borough of Halton. Now established as one of the premier 5 mile races in the North of England, the race has consistently scored over 90% in runner satisfaction surveys, so even if you are a novice, this is the race for you.

It's not just a race for the serious runner, although times of less than 25 minutes have been known! It's about taking part and running across the bridge, for some for the very first time. The longest a competitor was out on the course was 1 hour 20 minutes. It's not just young people either, the race caters for all ages and abilities. Although we have said all ages, unfortunately those under 15 years old are unable to enter due to UKA rules.

It's also about raising money. A portion of each entry fee will be forwarded to Macmillan Cancer Support and to 2009 over 3 years this has amounted £5000 for this worthy charity, caring for people locally where others are not able.

You can also raise money for your charity if you wish, or even more for Macmillan, its your choice.

Take your time to browse this website and see for yourself how easy it is to run the course and also to download the entry forms and details you require.
