Manchester Marathon 2026

The Manchester Marathon 2026 is set to be one of the most anticipated running events in the UK and is one of the most popular marathon events in the calendar. The route will take runners on a scenic 26.2-mile course through the vibrant streets of Manchester, passing iconic landmarks such as Old Trafford and the Manchester Town Hall. Known for its flat and fast route, the marathon is a favorite for both seasoned athletes aiming to achieve personal bests and for charity runners looking to raise funds for various causes.

By taking on a challenge event you'll help us support over 350 babies, children and young people who are seriously unwell - helping them, and their families, to make the most of every day.
