Manchester Marathon

The Manchester Marathon features a super fast course, great entertainment, outstanding crowd support and glorious finish at Emirates Old Trafford, the home of Lancashire Cricket Club.

To give you an idea of how fast this course is, at the recent ASICS Greater Manchester Marathon in 2017 – 86% of the top 50 recorded a PB or SB and 50% of the top 250 got a PB. This race is YOUR best chance to get a marathon PB.

You will start the race just a short walk away on the A56 White City Roundabout and finish on Talbot Road outside Emirates Old Trafford. The venue change is in line with our growth plans for the event and now allows us to have an 8m wide finish giving you a spectacular finale to your great day.

Some highlights of the route:
– The flattest marathon course in the UK – flatter than London, Edinburgh, New York, Chicago and many others
– Perfect PB course
– Awesome entertainment and support along the course
– The route will be held entirely on closed, main roads
– More of the route in Altrincham where the crowd support was amazing
