Manchester
Every year, thousands of runners hit the streets to take on the AJ Bell Great Manchester, whether it’s the half marathon or the 10K. Many participants are also raising money for incredible causes along the way. Expect all the classic Great Run excitement – from the buzzing start line and lively en-route entertainment to an event village that feels more like a festival after-party. But it’s the carnival atmosphere and the determination of the runners that truly make it a Manchester event.
