Manchester Half Marathon

This popular half marathon sees runners take on generous, closed roads across the towns of Old Trafford, Stretford & Brooklands, with the promise of great support and an abundance of entertainment en route.

Why your support matters

✓ Only 26% of the core STEAM workforce in the UK are women - this drops to 18% in IT related roles and 11% in engineering
