Why run the Manchester Half Marathon?

The Manchester Half Marathon boasts a rapid, mostly flat 13.1-mile loop starting near Old Trafford.

Runners trace a scenic route passing by the Trafford Arch, venturing deep into the leafy streets of Sale, sweeping through the community-heavy roads of Chorlton-cum-Hardy, and taking in iconic views of Manchester city centre before ending on Talbot Road

The event is perfect for seasoned runners looking for a personal best or first time half marathoners.
