The Manchester Half Marathon is set to return with over 26,000 taking to the streets of Trafford & Manchester on Sunday 12^th October as the largest Half Marathon in the region.

Last October saw 21,000 people take part and raise over £1,100,000 for local and national charities. The 2024 Manchester Half also created a £7 MILLION boost to the local economy, with thousands travelling to Greater Manchester and spending in local hotels, restaurants and shops.

Roads closures will be in effect along and immediately around the Half Marathon route, and those roads in the surrounding area that are open will be very busy so please plan extra times for any journeys you need to take. Many bus services will also be diverted due to these closures.

We recommend using Metrolink to travel to and from the Event as there are several stops close to the athlete village, start line and finish line in Trafford. For further details, please https://tfgm.com/ways-to-travel/tram.
