Great Manchester Run

Great Manchester Run

Portland St, Manchester M1 3LF | Sunday, 31st May, 2026

Join us for another spectacular running celebration in the heart of Manchester with the AJ Bell Great Manchester Run.

The AJ Bell Great Manchester Run is the city’s original and best-loved running event – over 99% of runners say they’d recommend it to a friend. And in true Mancunian style, it’s a party from start to finish, with a high-energy soundtrack, live music and entertainment zones at every turn – plus, some of the loudest and most enthusiastic local support we’ve seen anywhere in the UK. However, it’s also a testament to the strength and generous spirit of this incredible city, with thousands of charity runners taking on the challenge of a 10k or half marathon each year to raise millions for charity.
