Step on for Forever Manchester with the GM Ringway Adventure
We’re thrilled to introduce the GM Ringway Challenge, a remarkable long-distance walking trail that weaves through the heart of Greater Manchester, connecting all ten boroughs along the way.
🚶♂️ What’s the Challenge?
The GM Ringway spans an impressive 200 miles in total, divided into 20 stages, allowing you to tailor your experience. Whether you’re up for a stroll or a true endurance test, there’s something for everyone.
Plus, it’s all designed to be accessible via public transport, making it a green and sustainable way to explore the diverse landscapes within our ten boroughs. It’s your chance to explore the stunning landscapes of Greater Manchester, boost your fitness, and contribute to a great cause.
Choose to conquer just a stage or two, or challenge yourself to complete the entire 200 miles throughout the summer.
