The Chester Ultra 50 Mile offers a stunning blend of trail running, featuring diverse landscapes like Delamere Forest, the Sandstone Trail to Frodsham, and the challenging Helsby Hill. The race kicked off at 6 AM on a crisp, fresh morning, but the sun eventually broke through, though by the time I crossed the finish line, the temperature had dropped again.
My primary goal was to beat my time from last year, and I’m thrilled to say I managed to shave off over 2 hours and 5 minutes, finishing in the daylight—something that made a world of difference. I crossed the line in 204th overall out of 600 runners, and 28th female. It was an unforgettable experience, and I couldn’t be happier with my progress.
