The UKFast We Love Manchester 10k has been building a loyal following for more than 10 years now, earning a reputation as the city’s friendliest 10k and providing a fun alternative to its bigger brother – the Great Manchester 10k.

Through their partnership with our sister charity We Love Manchester Sports Tours International donate thousands of pounds each year to good causes across the city, with £1 from every entry going towards the charity.

Starting from the Regional Athletics Track, Etihad Campus, the UKFast We Love Manchester 10k takes place on Sunday 8th July.

The action starts at the city’s Regional Athletics track, constructed for the 2002 Commonwealth Games and located just yards from Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium.

The venue offers up a full ‘athlete’s village’ laid on by organisers Sports Tours International where you can browse the latest running gear and pick up giveaways from their sponsors before heading out onto the track.

When the start gun fires you’ll head out onto a fast and well-planned route on closed roads. There’s chip timing for those who love to break their personal best and a finisher’s medal, technical shirt and goody bag waiting for you as you cross the finish line.

The UKFast We Love Manchester 10k is also very welcoming to families. After the adult race, they hold a toddler trot where children aged from 0-8 years take on their own race around the running track.

Tempted to strap on your running shoes and sign up? Register now and save almost 20% off the standard entry price, with places starting at just £21 for adults and £3 for the toddler trot.

£1 from every entry goes to We Love Manchester Charity.
