The Manchester Half Marathon is one of the biggest and best runs in the North West.
With a mostly flat route that starts and finishes at Old Trafford, this is the perfect run for anyone taking on their first half marathon or aiming for a PB.
With general entries selling out each year, run for team DofE and not only will you guarantee your place, you’ll be helping transform the lives of young people through The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.
As we celebrate 70 years of the DofE, we’re fundraising to support the next generation at a time when they need it most. Sign up for the Manchester Half Marathon and help make sure no young person is prevented from doing their DofE due to financial barriers.
