SECURE A PLACE AT ONE OF THE UK’s LARGEST HALF MARATHONS

Join thousands of participants of all abilities for an unforgettable 13.1-miles through the buzzing streets of Greater Manchester. Last year's event sold out in record breaking time, and we expect 2026's edition to do so even quicker.

Not experienced Manchester Half before? You can expect:

🚧 Greater Manchester roads closed exclusively for you

👟 Flat route perfect for 1^st timers & PB hunters

🏅 Truly excellent finisher medal

👏 Huge crowds & live performances

Places are limited, and the first three entry allocations have already sold out. The final allocation is now open, and we expect 2026 to reach capacity faster than ever. To manage demand, this entry window will close at midnight on Tuesday 10th February. To guarantee a public place, register before the deadline as no decisions have yet been made on how/ when any remaining spots will be released.

To provide you with the best value and ensure you receive the experience that suits your needs, we offer three tiers of entry types to choose from. You can see what is included in each entry type in the chart below.
