The Adidas Manchester Marathon, the UK’s second largest marathon and one of Europe’s largest is an iconic event drawing participants from all over the world to the vibrant streets of Greater Manchester.
We pride ourselves in welcoming all to take on our 26.2 mile challenge, from some superb elite runners, to those who thought completing a marathon would never be possible. Many regular runners find this the ideal event to get a personal best time, whilst everybody finds the incredible Mancunian support throughout the course unforgettable.
By raising money for Stemette Futures, you’ll help us achieve our mission of engaging, informing, and connecting the next generation of women and non-binary people in STEAM. Our vision is for young people to make informed decisions about careers in STEAM, ensuring that women and non-binary people are proportionally represented in the field.
