There is a lovely 2-mile flat finish that brings you to the conclusion of the event at Emirates Old Trafford Lancashire County Cricket Club.
If you have a place in the 2025 Manchester Half Marathon, you can still run for team Shout and we'll still support you every single step of the way!
We simply ask you to please fundraise as much as you can for our life-saving crisis service. Set up your fundraiser below and we'll be in touch.
Shout is the only free, confidential, 24/7 text messaging support service for anyone in the UK struggling to cope. Every 60 seconds, someone reaches out to us in distress.
By running the Manchester Half Marathon and raising £300 for Shout, you could help us to support 60 children, young people and adults in their moment of crisis.
That support could be life-saving.
My volunteer listened to my worries and gave me the space to go through things. It was helpful to try to focus. She was kind to me when i wasn't feeling kind to myself.
