Run and raise money for Forever Manchester in the Great Manchester Run, 10k and Half Marathon taking place on Sunday 22nd May 2022.

Manchester’s iconic event returns to the city’s streets in 2022. Take your place on the 10k or Half Marathon start line and soak up that buzzing atmosphere, because if you’re going to do a run in Manchester, make it the greatest.

The Great Manchester run is the UK’s biggest, with both a 10k and a Half Marathon running alongside one another. It’s a run for everyone, from locals to celebrated athletes, whether it’s your first 10k or your 50th half marathon.  An inclusive celebration of Mancunian running, with music blazing, crowds buzzing, legs pumping and fists bumping. The city comes alive on Great Manchester Run weekend.
