Manchester Marathon

Join Team Solving Kids' Cancer UK on April 18, 2027 for the Manchester Marathon. By running and raising funds, you'll make a life-changing difference for children and families affected by neuroblastoma and other childhood cancers. 

The adidas Manchester Marathon, the UK's second largest marathon and one of Europe's largest is an iconic event drawing participants from all over the world to the vibrant streets of Greater Manchester.

The event prides itself in welcoming all to take on the 26.2 mile challenge, from superb elite runners, to those who thought completing a marathon would never be possible. Many regular runners find this the ideal event to get a personal best time, whilst everybody finds the incredible Mancunian support throughout the course unforgettable.

Your support will fund vital research to find more effective, less toxic treatments and provide essential support services for families facing the unimaginable. Help us achieve our mission: a future where no child dies of neuroblastoma or suffers due to their treatment.

As a Solving Kids' Cancer UK marathon runner, you'll receive: 

• Solving Kids' Cancer UK running vest to wear with pride 
• Regular e-newsletters with training and fundraising tips 
• Unmatched support from our dedicated Events team
