Join #TeamDKMS for the Chester Marathon

As the 5th largest marathon in the UK and 3x time winner of the UK’s Best Marathon, the Chester Marathon is also the only marathon in the UK that spans across both England and Wales. The route takes in the beautiful surrounding landscapes and villages that both countries have to offer.

What you get

Join the team to receive:

  • dedicated personal support
  • branded DKMS technical t-shirt so you look the part
  • fundraising pack with tips to make your target easier to hit, so you can focus on the race.

Have your own place?

If you have secured your own place, we'd love you to join #TeamDKMS as an own place runner. You'll receive the same support as our charity runners but there’s no minimum fundraising target. You can have fun and raise as much as you can! Get in touch by emailing fundraising@dkms.org.uk.
