We’d love for you to join us and experience this special day, so a few of the most popular questions are answered below.
HOW DO I GET A PLACE TO TAKE PART IN THE 2025 MANCHESTER HALF?
We have a strict capacity in place to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for all. We have assessed our capacity and will be releasing 2,000 final entries next week Thursday, 19 June, at 12:00. This will be the absolute final opportunity to access a public place for the Manchester Half 2025.
CAN I TAKE PART IN THE 2025 MANCHESTER HALF FOR CHARITY?
You certainly can. There’s two ways of doing this.
If you choose to run for one of our official charity partners, you can get a place at a discounted rate in return for setting a fundraising target.
Alternatively, everyone who signs up for a public place can choose to fundraise for a charity of their choice. There’s no requirement to set a specific amount, simply complete the relevant section of the registration form to automatically create a fundraising page linked to your challenge.
