Warrington Running Festival on Sunday 21st September 2025

After the overwhelming success of the Warrington Running Festival in 2023 as the world’s first free-to-enter running festival, the event returned in 2024 in its traditional format. The RunThrough Foundation aims to

 move around with the Free event being available in different cities as the years go on.

The Warrington Running Festival in 2025 will continue to be a celebration of running and fitness, continuing the legacy of the 2023 event, which saw so many first-time and experienced runners alike come together for the world's first event.

Hometown of RunThrough co-founder Ben Green, the Warrington Running Festival has always been an extremely important event for RunThrough. It will continue to be one of the most important races in our busy calendar of events.

Join us for the return of the Warrington Running Festival. Run a Half Marathon, 10k or 5k in and around Warrington Town Centre. Starting and finishing at the Town Hall’s iconic Golden Gates, this new event has a road-closed, flat, and fast route that will provide the perfect opportunity to push yourself to a chip-timed, personal best.
