Great Manchester Run

The AJ Bell Great Manchester Run is Manchester’s city-centre running festival offering two distances: 10k and half marathon. The route starts on Portland Street near Oxford Street and finishes on Deansgate, taking in sights and landmarks such as Coronation Street and the Imperial War Museum. Expect a party atmosphere with a high-energy soundtrack, live music, and enthusiastic local support.

Runners receive a medal, a finishers’ T-shirt, a bag of goodies, event-day photos, and access to exclusive discounts via the Great Run rewards program; optional finisher tees can be donated to a conservation appeal. Charity places are available. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
