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

We have a strict number of places available in each entry allocation, with early allocations priced lower. Allocation one has already sold out during our Priority window.

After a 56% increase in demand straight after the last edition, we expect 2026 to reach capacity earlier than ever. If you wish to secure a public place, make sure do so ASAP.

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.
