Manchester Half Marathon 2026 – Sold Out
This popular half marathon sees runners take on generous, closed roads across the towns of Old Trafford, Stretford and Brooklands, with the promise of great support and an abundance of entertainment en route. Up to 30,000 runners take part every year and the atmosphere is always amazing.
Date
- 4 October 2026
The Route
Starting in the shadow of the famous Old Trafford Football Ground, runners head straight into the City Centre before heading back out towards Stretford and Sale where they’ll turn on this flat course and head back to the “other” Old Trafford, the home of Lancashire C.C.C.

We have a number of subsidised places available. All we ask is that you raise £200.00 in sponsorship funds in support of Run 4 Cancer (excluding Gift Aid). We set very low minimum sponsorship levels and fully understand that the cost of living crisis is impacting people’s ability to sponsor people.
Run 4 Cancer - About Us
Set up by a team of running enthusiasts, all of whom have lost a family member or a friend to cancer, Run 4 Cancer is primarily a provider of days out and short-breaks for British families affected by cancer. We give families something to look forward to during the most difficult of times. We also make grants to UK based care institutions and support research into the positive effects of exercise (e.g. running) and how it can help with cancer prevention and recovery.
