Manchester Half Marathon

The Manchester Half is a 13.1 mile challenge that takes place every October, starting and finishing by Old Trafford. With over 16,000 runners, it is easily one of the biggest races in the region.

Since its launch in 2016, it has received rave reviews from participants, thanks to its professional delivery, flat route and amazing support from crowds around the course.

Experience the exhilarating atmosphere for yourself by running for Francis House in 2025.
