Manchester Half Marathon

The Manchester Half is a 13.1 mile road race held each October, traditionally starting and finishing by Old Trafford. The event is presented as the largest half marathon in the region; the 2025 edition welcomed over 28,000 participants.

Since its launch in 2016 the race has been delivered as a closed-road event. Organisers describe the route as flat with no major hills, and the weekend typically includes live performances, DJs and cheer zones along the course. A finisher medal is awarded to all participants.

The event aims to represent the people of Manchester and to celebrate community achievements. It is licensed by England Athletics and will be held under UK Athletics Rules for Competition.

The next scheduled date listed for the Manchester Half is Sunday 4th October 2026. Information on entry allocations, charity places and event weekend arrangements is published by the organisers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
