Why run it?

More than 35,000 runners take on the famous AJ Bell Great Manchester Run each year. The 10km distance offers an epic city centre run with PB potential. In true Mancunian style, it’s got party vibes from start to finish, with live music and entertainment zones at every turn. Starting on Portland Street, runners will pass some of Manchester’s most iconic landmarks and soak in the incredible local support all along the route, culminating in a spectacular grandstand finish on Deansgate. Half Marathon distance also available on the same day.
