The Manchester Half Marathon Winter Warmer Run

The Manchester 5k, 10k and Half Marathon Winter Warmer Run at Heaton Park offers three distances: 5k (one lap), 10k (two laps), and a half marathon (four laps plus an extra 1.1k). The undulating course is mainly park paths with one trail stretch and is wheelchair- and buggy-friendly; please stay left on public towpaths. The event hub is The Bowl; chip timing provides instant results, and every finisher receives a medal, plus snacks and drinks.

The run supports Shelter with optional fundraising. On-site facilities include bag storage and toilets. Dogs on leads welcome.

Marshals provide encouragement and the atmosphere aims to be friendly and winter-warming. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
