On Saturday, March 7, 2026, the ChesCo Race Fest wraps up its winter series with a Half Marathon (also offering a Marathon, 50 K, and 4-person relay) at Wilson Farm Park in Wayne, Chester County. The race begins at 9:00 AM EST, with an 8-hour cutoff making it accessible for runners and walkers alike.
The event takes place on a flat, spectator-friendly 1.25‑mile park loop, repeated ten times after a prologue partial lap to deliver the full 13.1-mile distance. With each loop passing the Tot Lot Pavilion, runners can easily access amenities—indoor restrooms, snacks, hydration, or their personal items.
What sets ChesCo Race Fest apart is its winter series format, where this race serves as the final leg, offering competitive scoring across multiple distances (with point multipliers for marathon and 50 K). The looped format supports live results and a livestream of the race, plus a festive collection of pizza, snacks, drinks, and a winter hat included with registration.
Packet pickup opens at 7:30 AM and pre-race logistics are designed for efficiency and comfort—heated bathrooms, frequent runner pass-bys, and a centralized finish area. Whether you’re targeting a spring tune-up, seeking community alongside winter running, or chasing series points with your club, ChesCo Race Fest delivers a unique blend of warmth, structure, and endurance fun.
