About Great Manchester Run 2025

The AJ Bell Great Manchester Run is the city’s original and best-loved running event. With a 10K or a half marathon distance to choose from, the route takes in the city’s highlights and iconic landmarks  – including the likes of Old Trafford, Deansgate and The Lowry.

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. Will you join us in 2025 and support Children with Cancer UK?
