Greater Manchester Marathon
29 April, 2012
After a 10 year absence the Greater Manchester Marathon in Trafford brings the ultimate running challenge back to Manchester.
On the 29th April 2012 thousands of runners will take to the streets to achieve their personal dream.
The 26 mile 385 yard course will take in some key landmarks and beautiful countryside around the borough of Trafford.
The course is one of the flattest in the world, so is great for anyone looking to do their first marathon, or for those looking to set a new personal best time.
The marathon will be timed with state of the art disposable timing chips. Your time will be recorded at various split points along the way - 10km, 10 miles, 13.1 miles (half marathon), 20 miles and the finish.
