The adidas Manchester Marathon is one of the UK’s largest and most popular marathons, known for its fast, flat course and incredible crowd support.
With tens of thousands of runners taking to the streets, this is a race built for big moments — whether you’re chasing a personal best or taking on your first marathon challenge.
With a fast, flat route and incredible atmosphere, it’s the perfect place to chase a personal best while being carried by the energy of the crowd.
From the electric atmosphere at the start line to the roar of the crowds along the route, every mile is powered by the people of Manchester, creating an unforgettable race-day experience.
The 2027 event takes place on Sunday 18 April.
