Great Manchester Run 2026:
Manchester Mind’s charity places are currently live for the GMR 2026!
Each year, tens of thousands of runners fill the streets of Manchester to take on the AJ Bell Great Manchester Run, choosing between a 10K or Half Marathon distance. True to the city’s spirit, it’s a celebration from start to finish – with live music, high-energy entertainment zones, and some of the loudest, most passionate local support anywhere in the UK. Take on the challenge for Manchester Mind!
You can also create your own personal challenge, such as a daring sponsored head shave or health related activity.
Once you’ve signed up to your challenge, get in touch and we’ll be pleased to forward our Sponsorship Pack, and charity running vest or t-shirt, and make sure we’re there to support you at each stage of your fundraising journey.
