Great Manchester Run Half Marathon

Join our 2026 Great Manchester Run Half Marathon Team!

Get ready to be part of Manchester’s biggest and best day of running!

The Great Manchester Run isn’t just a race – it is a celebration of Manchester and an unforgettable experience for every single person that takes part! The atmospheric half marathon route takes in the sights of Manchester and is perfect for anyone to achieve their running goals.

And the best bit about it? Every step you take as part of our team will help save and transform the lives of patients of all ages cared for throughout our family of hospitals. This year, we’re raising funds for our MediCinema Appeal, to bring the magic of the movies to children and adults at Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital and Manchester Royal Infirmary.

Our charity places are now sold out

You can still join our team with your own place.

Once registered, we will support you with fundraising advice, tips, and encouragement every step of the way.
