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 a provider of days out and short-breaks for British families affected by cancer.
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.
Formerly known as the 'Greater Manchester Marathon', the Manchester Marathon won the coveted title of 'UK’s Best Marathon' at the 2017 Running Awards and its easy to see why.
This superfast course offers great entertainment, outstanding crowd support and a glorious finish line at the Emirates Old Trafford stadium, the home of Lancashire Cricket Club.
This marathon is definitely one to participate in if you are looking to get a marathon PB (Personal Best).
The route sweeps through the whole of Manchester and starts and finishes at the iconic Old Trafford Stadium. Since 2020, the route includes a three mile loop through Manchester city centre passing many of the city's famous buildings and monuments. The route also passes through Chorlton, Hulme, Old Trafford, Stretford, Sale, Timperley, Altrincham, Urmston and Salford.
