Event overview
The ChesCo Race Fest #3 takes place on Saturday, March 7, 2026 in Wayne, PA (500 Lee Road, 19087). It is the second annual running of this race and serves as the final leg of the ChesCo Winter Series. The event offers multiple race options:

- 26.2 mi (marathon)
- 50K
- Marathon Relay (4-person)
The half marathon is open to ages 11 and older. The marathon and 50K are open to ages 14 and older. The marathon is listed as a Boston qualifier. Entry fees and remaining spots are posted on the event registration pages.
Course and logistics
Runners use a fairly flat park loop of 1.25 miles. Races start in the center of the park, run a prologue partial lap to the perimeter, then loop the park clockwise and finish at the Tot Lot Pavilion. The course layout causes runners to pass the finish area every 1.25-mile loop, which makes the event spectator friendly and allows easy access to indoor heated bathrooms and personal supplies. Packet pick up is available on race morning. Live results will be posted to the event results link and a livestream will run on the event YouTube channel. An 8-hour time limit applies to the event; this time limit applies differently across distances and is not aligned with the 50K. Snacks, drinks, and pizza will be provided.
