Lace up for the ChesCo Race Fest #3 on March 7, 2026, a vibrant event marking the grand finale of the ChesCo Winter Series in scenic Wayne, PA. Set within Wilson Farm Park, this festival offers a diverse range of distances, including a challenging 50K, a Boston-qualifying Full Marathon, a Half Marathon, and a spirited 4-Person Marathon Relay, catering to all levels of endurance enthusiasts. Experience a unique and highly engaging race format on a fairly flat 1.25-mile park loop, allowing runners to truly connect with the festive atmosphere and their fellow competitors with every passing lap.

The ChesCo Race Fest #3 course is known for its runner-friendly design. Competitors will navigate a smooth, paved loop that starts in the park's center, includes a short prologue, and then proceeds clockwise, culminating at the easily accessible Tot Lot Pavilion. This looped setup is incredibly spectator-friendly, offering frequent opportunities for family and friends to cheer you on, with the added convenience of indoor heated bathrooms and direct access to personal fluids and nutrition after every lap. With typical race day conditions seeing highs around 49°F and lows around 30°F, and only a 14% chance of precipitation, it's ideal weather to push your limits as winter transitions to spring. An generous 8-hour time limit makes the half and full marathons particularly welcoming for walkers.

Beyond the race itself, participants will enjoy a lively post-race celebration complete with delicious snacks, refreshing drinks, and pizza, along with a commemorative winter hat included in registration. Live results and a dedicated YouTube livestream ensure that supporters near and far can follow all the action, making ChesCo Race Fest #3 a truly connected and communal running experience. Whether you're chasing a personal best, aiming for series points, or simply enjoying the camaraderie of the running community, this event offers a perfect blend of challenge and celebration.
