Manchester Marathon 2027

Now officially the 4th largest marathon in Europe and second only to London, the adidas Manchester Marathon is one surely on everyone’s to-do list, not least as the fast, flat course allows runners to aim high for those coveted PBs. After an incredible 2026 event, this race looks set to sell out quickly.

The Route

Starting in the shadow of the famous Old Trafford Football Ground, this new route since 2025 sends runners towards Deansgate before heading back to Old Trafford and on to Stretford down the A56. Sale, Timperley and Altrincham are next as runners cross into Cheshire, before heading back down the A56 taking a turn for Chorlton and then onto Hulme before finishing at the University of Manchester on Oxford Road.

We have a number of subsidised places available. All we ask is that you try to raise £500.00 sponsorship (excluding Gift Aid) in support of Run 4 Cancer.  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.
