Cholmondeley Castle race series

Venue

Cheshire

You can now book your space at the Cholmondeley Castle race series for 2024.

This Cheshire castle has been home to the Cholmondeley Family since the 12th Century. Its grounds feature Deer Park Mere which is a beautiful setting for our open water swim races.

To the south of the Castle lies Tower Hill, the highest point of the run routes, where athletes are rewarded with panoramic views of the Beeston and Peckforton Hills.

Throughout the weekend, athletes and spectators will be able to enjoy a fun-packed festival village right in the heart of the Cholmondeley Castle estate featuring live music, shopping, food and drink, children’s entertainment, yoga and more.
