Manchester Half Marathon

Are you ready to take on Manchester’s iconic half marathon — and make a real difference at the same time? We’re offering limited charity places for the Great Manchester Run Half Marathon, and we’d love for you to join us!

  • By running for our charity, every mile you cover and every pound you raise helps fund St Mary’s Hospice.
  • Charity places offer guaranteed race entry — a great option if the general ballot is full or if you missed out on standard entry.
  • You’ll get a charity-branded running shirt or vest, fundraising materials and guidance, and our team’s full support from sign-up to finish line.

Charity places are open to runners of all abilities, whether you’re aiming for a PB, running for charity, or simply up for a new challenge. The route is flat, well-supported, and brings the city together in one of the UK’s most inclusive and vibrant running events.

If you’d like to run with us in the Great Manchester Run Half Marathon and help support our cause secure your charity place today. But hurry these slots are limited and often go fast.

Sign up below or get in touch for more information and support.
