How you can get a half price entry fee for Warrington Running Festival 2025

Warrington: You can snag a half-price entry for the Warrington Running Festival! Just sign up for the half marathon and raise at least £200 for the Warrington and Halton Teaching Hospitals Charity.

This charity does amazing work, providing extra comforts and care for patients and their families that the NHS can’t always cover. This year, they’re a gold partner for the 2025 event, which is pretty cool.

It’s a great way to shake off those January blues and get fit while supporting a fantastic cause. If you fundraise for WHH, you can join the half marathon for just £15.60 instead of the usual £30. Plus, other races will also be discounted!

Helen Higginson, the charity’s fundraising head, is thrilled about the partnership. She mentioned that after all the festive fun, many folks are looking to kick off the new year on a healthy note. Running in the half marathon or any of the shorter events is a perfect way to boost your fitness and mental health while helping hospital patients.

The festival is set for Sunday, September 21, and it’ll be around the Warrington town center, starting and finishing at the iconic Golden Gates. The route is flat and fast, making it ideal for those aiming for a personal best.

Last year, over 6,000 runners participated in various distances, including a 5k, 10k, half marathon, and a junior race. Ben Green, co-founder of RunThrough, is excited for the festival’s return. He loves seeing the community come together to support local charities.

Anyone can join in, including hospital staff and volunteers. Just sign up on the official WRF website and pay the booking fee. There are options for everyone, from a junior race for kids to the half marathon.

Runners will also get a free WHH Charity running T-shirt or vest while stocks last, plus a medal and some post-race goodies. So, if you’re interested, check out the details and get ready to run for a great cause!
