7 October 2018 - Chester Marathon

​Taking place in late 2018, there’s plenty of time to train for the Chester Marathon. You will run past all Chester's iconic landmarks before heading out to the stunning surrounding country side. The support of communities along the course is one of the many highlights of the race.

17 October 2018 - Gaskells Truck Pull

28 October 2018 - Scouse 5K 

The colourful spectacle that is the Scouse 5K will be returning to Liverpool in October. The flat course passes many landmarks such as The Metropolian Cathedral, The Cavern and Liverpool Town Hall before finishing on the plateau in front of the magnificent St. George's Hall. Expect lots of bands, lots of colour and lots of fun. Everybody taking part gets a choice of wig colour, we would love you to choose Sunshine Yellow to show that you are supporting The Whitechapel Centre.  Comedy moustaches and hilarious spectacles are optional. 

2 December 2018 - Liverpool Santa Dash

The biggest festive fun run is back again for 2018. Once more thousands of Scouse Santas will be turning Liverpool City Centre into a sea of red (with a little splash of blue) as they fill the streets with a mix of excitement and Christmas cheer. Liverpool 5K Santa Dash attracts runners of all levels with a special 1K Mini Dash for little Santa's under 12. 
​As always the Santa suit is provided. ​​
