2026 Manchester Road Race
The 2026 Manchester Road Race takes place on Main Street in Manchester, Connecticut. The event covers 4.737 miles and is scheduled for November 26, 2026. The 2026 edition is identified as the 90th Manchester Road Race and continues a tradition that began in 1927.
The primary charitable objective for 2026 is helping neighbors access affordable shelter. The race works with community partners and lists fundraising and donation efforts connected to the event. Previous finishers from the 2025 race competed at an international 10K event in Manchester, England, and top British finishers from that event are being invited to the 90th race.
Town officials and the race committee have discussed proposed Main Street redevelopment plans; the committee has been assured the plans will not adversely affect the Thanksgiving Day run and will review final plans to coordinate with local officials. Presenting and supporting sponsors are acknowledged by the organizers as part of the event structure.
