What

The AJ Bell Great Manchester Run is the city’s original and best-loved running event – over 99% of runners say they’d recommend it to a friend. And in true Mancunian style, it’s a party from start to finish, with a high-energy soundtrack, live music and entertainment zones at every turn – plus, some of the loudest and most enthusiastic local support we’ve seen anywhere in the UK.

Great Manchester Run entries are open to runners aged 15+ (10k) and 17+ (Half marathon) on the day of the event.

Why

To raise money for St. Rocco’s Hospice which cares for people with a life-limiting illness in Warrington. St. Rocco’s offers care and support for patients and families within the Hospice, as well as through our Hospice at Home and Family Support services.

We rely on the local community for over 80% of our funding, so taking part in the Great Manchester Run and raising sponsorship is a great way to support your local Hospice!
