Great Manchester Run 31st May 2026

Turn your new year’s resolution into support for people caught in crises around the world – by taking on the Great Manchester Run this year.  

About the run  

With a 10K or a half marathon distance to choose from, tens of thousands of runners take to the streets of Manchester to be part of the AJ Bell Great Manchester Run each year. 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. 

Joining Team UK-Med 

Running for us means you get a free running vest and join a community of people committed to saving lives in emergencies.
