Below you can see this year's Manchester Half route overview*. This year, get ready for even more cheer stations, epic live music, and electrifying DJ sets, all fuelled by the unmatched energy of tens of thousands of supporters lining the course (imagine loud, then double it).
The Event Village is at the Lancashire Cricket Club Grounds - from here you will be directed to the start.

Greater Manchester Police will be deploying specially-trained officers as part of Project Servator to enhance security measures already in place at Manchester Half 2025. They will deploy at sites around the event footprint as preparations get underway and during the event weekend itself. Officers will work with event organisers, security and the public to help keep people safe throughout.
Some of these officers may be in plain clothes and are trained to spot the tell-tale signs that a person may be conducting hostile reconnaissance – the information-gathering terrorists and other criminals need to do to plan their criminal activity.
They can turn up at anytime and anywhere so please don’t be surprised if you see them. Officers may be supported by other specialist assets such as search dogs, mounted officers and firearms officers.
Working with the community is a vital part of making Project Servator a success, so if you have any questions, please feel free to talk to the officers.
It’s all about helping to ensure that everyone involved is safe and secure, and to make life difficult for criminals who may seek an opportunity to commit crime.
We will continue to work with Greater Manchester Police and other security organisations throughout planning and on the day of the event to ensure the event runs smoothly and to keep people safe.
If you see something suspicious, please tell a police officer or member of the security team as soon as possible.
