Exclusive offers for Chesterfield Marathon runners

Runners taking part in this year’s Chesterfield Marathon and Half Marathon can take advantage of a combination of offers courtesy of three of the event’s sponsors and partners.

Major partner Decathlon’s Eyre Street store in Sheffield is offering £10 of discount for every £50 spent on running related items such as trainers, tops, training technology and more for Chesterfield Marathon runners, as well as advice on running and nutrition.  To benefit participants simply need to take a copy of their registration confirmation email into store when making their purchases.

Another supporter of the event, Facilities For All, is offering free training facilities at Tupton Hall School every Monday and Wednesday from 7pm until 9pm – a second exclusive for runners registered for the Chesterfield Marathon.

Spireites Sport and Health Club is also supporting the race and will offer half-price use of their Hydrotherapy Pool in the Community Stand of Chesterfield FC’s Proact Stadium – the third of the three exclusive offers to registered Chesterfield Marathon competitors.

The three offers when combined offer a chance for the Marathon runners to equip, train and recover.

Zoe Darraugh, Decathlon Sheffield manager said: “We are delighted to be supporting and partnering the Chesterfield Marathon this year.

“We will be present on race day in Queen’s Park, Chesterfield, bringing several sporting goodies for everyone to come and have a ‘play’ with – mini badminton, soft archery, table tennis, swingball, basketball, football, kayaks and canoes as well as things that will interest the runners.

“We’re looking forward to the event and will have more surprises during the build-up.”

Darren Norwood, a Director of Facilities For All said, “The runners registering for the Chesterfield Marathon will be able to get some excellent benefits from using the track at Tupton.

“They can get some good training miles in on a lap-by-lap basis, mixing it up with distance and sprint training to really get the body in good shape for September.

Darren McQuade, of the Spireites Sport & Health Club, said “We are delighted to support the Chesterfield Marathon by offering discounted use of the Hydrotherapy Pool here at the Health Club.

“I’m entering the Half Marathon myself and will definitely be using the pool to ease the pain!”

The event, including a full marathon, half marathon, four person Team Relay and a Fun Run, takes place on Sunday 20 September 2015. All races this year start and finish in Chesterfield’s Queen’s Park.
