Run the Manchester Marathon for charity

Speed through Greater Manchester’s bustling streets during the UK’s second-largest marathon.

The adidas Manchester Marathon attracts participants from around the world, with more than 36,000 runners attending in 2025.

The 26.2-mile course’s flat terrain is a favourite with regular runners aiming for a record time, but the infectious energy from Mancunian supporters is what makes this race an unforgettable experience.

More than 40,000 people have secured a place in the 2026 marathon, and places with the event organiser have already sold out. But you can still run if you sign up with Sightsavers!
