With a rollcall of world-beating past winners, famous faces on the start line and all the action televised live on the BBC, the event is a North West icon, but this year’s landmark 20th event promises to be the most special yet. To echo the event’s renowned start line anthem, quite simply, This Is The One!
Whether you take on the 10k or Half Marathon challenge, you’ll line up on the iconic Portland Street start line and feel the goosebumps as you and 25,000 other runners follow the famous route, pass Manchester landmarks and set your sights on Deansgate for a grandstand finish.
