Manchester Half Marathon

What is the event?

Could you take on the epic Manchester Half Marathon? The buzzing 13.1 mile challenge that takes place every October, starting and finishing by Old Trafford, and is easily the biggest in the region with over 15,000 runners. It is an event that truly represents all the wonderful people of Manchester. A firm half-marathon favourite thanks to its flat route and fantastic support from the buzzing Mancunian crowds.
