Run in aid of Francis House Children’s Hospice in the Adidas Manchester Marathon.

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

Anyone is encouraged to take on the 26.2 mile challenge! Participants include 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.

2026 saw a record-breaking 42,000 people take on the challenge, after final entries sold out months before. 2027 is set to be the biggest year yet!

**Entries sold out for 2027!**
