adidas Manchester Marathon

26 miles, our city, a world of difference!

Take on 26.2 miles with Team Christie at the adidas Manchester Marathon. The premier UK running event is perfect for all levels of runners, from superb elites to those who thought completing a marathon would never be possible.

The route that is famous for being the flattest, fastest and friendliest takes a 3-mile loop into the city centre, showcasing some of the city’s most iconic landmarks including the Manchester Opera House, Spinningfields, Albert Memorial Hall and The Midland Hotel amongst many others.

Secure your place with Team Christie and experience why this is one of the most popular marathons out there!
