Great Manchester Run

Sunday 26th May 2024

Join #Team Rocco’s for either a 10k or Half Marathon route.

#Teamrocco's will be returning to the streets of Manchester to take on the Great Manchester Run, and we'd love for you to join us. Choose between a 10K or Half Marathon route and experience a community through a vibrant city like no other. With a buzzing atmosphere and booming anthems alone the way, this event is not one to be missed. As a member of our team, we'll be here for you every step of the way on the lead up to race day, providing you with great fundraising ideas. You'll also receive a charity running top to wear with pride.

If you would like to claim a FREE place, all we ask is that you pledge to raise a minimum sponsorship of £200 for the half marathon or £150 for the 10k.
