My Story

The AJ Bell Great Manchester Run is the biggest and best running event in the North West. Starting and finishing in the heart of the city, runners soak up the amazing Manchester spirit the whole way round & pass iconic landmarks on their journey to the finish line.

With over twenty rocking entertainment zones, some of the best (and loudest!) crowd support anywhere in the world, and all the action televised live on the BBC, It’s an event day experience like no other.

It’s not all about the adults, the Junior & Mini events give the kids a chance to experience that finish line feeling, earn a special medal & raise money for good causes.
