The AJ Bell Great Manchester Run is one of the UK's most iconic city running events, with tens of thousands of runners taking to the streets of Manchester in a party atmosphere with live music, entertainment zones and some of the most enthusiastic spectator support in the country. Starting on Portland Street and finishing on the famous Deansgate, the course passes through the heart of the city with a 10K and half marathon to choose from. The event sells out every year, so early entry is essential.
