Hometown of RunThrough events co-founder Ben Green, the Warrington Running Festival is an opportunity to give back to the town that has supported his lifelong running journey. In partnership with the Warrington Borough Council, the RunThrough Foundation team aims to transform the community’s approach to active and healthy living by providing access to all.

……………………………..
We welcome any donations to be made of any amount or the opportunity for further partners to get on board. We also invite people to run for the RunThrough foundation and raise money. Any surplus money raised for the event will go into bringing the same initiative to another town in an effort to spread the joys of running across the UK!

You can select your chosen distance at the next stage of sign up.
On each of the above dates, we will be contacting all of those registered for the ballot and stating whether the ballot entry has been successful. If you weren’t successful in the first wave, then don’t worry, you have another chance.
Each ballot application will continue to form part of the draw during each wave. That means that if you enter the ballot early, you have multiple chances of winning a place!
For those that receive a place in the ballot, a unique code will be contained within the email with a link to make your official race entry at no cost. If you do not use your code by the subsequent ballot wave, your place will be offered to another applicant.
If you love RunThrough events as much as us, why not add an event or RTKit Credit voucher to your entry, at just 50% the retailed value!
You can predict your finish time for this race based on a recent race you've run. Enter the details below - select a similar type of race (hilliness and terrain) for the best prediction.
