Manchester Marathon 2026

The adidas Manchester Marathon, one of Europe's largest marathons, is an iconic event drawing participants from all over the world to the vibrant streets of Greater Manchester.

The event prides itself in welcoming all abilities to take on the 26.2 mile challenge, from some superb elite runners, to those who thought completing a marathon would never be possible.

Many regular runners find this the ideal event to get a personal best time, whilst everybody finds the incredible Mancunian support throughout the course unforgettable.

Dying and grief are universal experiences, but too many people face them alone. Every pound you raise could help make a positive difference during even the darkest of times.

Whether in the last months, weeks or days of life, or living with grief, together we can help people live the best life they possibly can.

We know every single one of our runners is amazing, and we make sure they know it too.
