Manchester - Cardio before Cupid
This is a timed, lap-based running event at Chorlton Water Park alongside the River Mersey. Participants may choose from fixed distances or complete as many laps as they wish within the event time limit. The minimum distance is one lap.
Available distances:
- 5 km
- 10 km
- Half marathon
- Marathon
- Ultra
The course follows an off-road riverside towpath with very little elevation gain, making the overall profile flat. A seven hour time limit applies to the event. A race brief is sent one week before the event and is mandatory reading for all participants.
An on-course vegetarian aid station is open all day and includes many vegan and gluten free options. Examples include bananas, dates, jelly sweets, crisps, cake, squash and cola. Participants with severe or life threatening allergies are asked to bring their own food due to possible cross-contamination.
Facilities at Race HQ include toilets and changing rooms. Parking is available for 75 cars at Hardy Farm on a first come, first served basis, with additional parking for up to 100 cars across the river at Sale Water Park and further public and paid parking near Chorlton Water Park.
The chosen charity is to be confirmed. All participants, attended and virtual, receive a physical giveaway finishers' medal. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
