The Maurice Minns Trophy

Maurice Minns was the Race Director of the Wilmslow Half Marathon for over 30 years. Over the years Maurice developed the race to become one of the UK’s leading half marathons which attracted elite runners such as Eamon Martin who went on to win the London Marathon, Jonny Mellor (2.08 marathon runner), alongside a number of overseas athletes.

The event has raised well over a million pounds, for charities, local community projects and runners charities, and stands as a fitting testament to Maurice’s vision and hard work.

Each year, in memory of Maurice, and as part of the Running Festival, the first male and female athletes in the Half Marathon with an SK9 post code will become the recipients of the "Maurice Minns" trophy.
