CAN I TAKE PART IN THE 2027 ASICS MANCHESTER HALF FOR CHARITY?

You certainly can. There’s two ways of doing this.

Our official charity partner places for 2026 are now sold out and you can join their waitlists here. You can still sign up for one of our incredible Associate Charity Partners to get a place in the event 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.
