Great Manchester Run

Celebrate everything that’s incredible about Manchester with us in 2022 and RUN YOUR CITY.

Join thousands of your friends and neighbours at the Great Manchester Run this year, the city’s must-do event.  Starting and finishing in the heart of the city, soak up the amazing Manchester spirit the whole way round as the route passes iconic landmarks including Old Trafford, Etihad and the Imperial War Museum.

With entertainment zones that celebrate local character at every kilometre, some of the best (and loudest!) crowd support anywhere in the world, and all the action televised live on the BBC, it’s a party atmosphere from start to finish.

It’s a run for everyone, from locals to celebrated athletes, whether it’s your first 10k or your 50th half marathon.  An inclusive celebration of Mancunian running, with music blazing, crowds buzzing, legs pumping and fists bumping.  The city comes alive on Great Manchester Run weekend.

We support you from the get-go with training plans & advice, race day prep and motivation every step of the way.  We roar you across the finish line and applaud your success in the event village.  It’s an event day experience like no other.

Great Manchester Run entries are open to runners aged 15+ (10k) and 17+ (Half marathon) on the day of the event.
