What to expect
.
.
The Great Manchester Run offers a fast, flat course, an electric atmosphere, massive crowds, inclusive waves for all abilities (beginners to elites) and iconic city views, all offering a memorable UK running experience. A myriad of celebrities and radio and television personalities sign up to join in, from Radio DJs to Coronation Street stars and Love Island couples, you never know who you’re going to see running beside you.

The Cause
.
Last year’s event attracted over 26,000 participants who raised millions for good causes. This year we’re putting our hearts and ‘soles’ into raising money for the Unloc Changemakers Fund, a ring-fenced fund dedicated to awarding changemaker micro-grants to young people from disadvantaged communities. These grants give motivated young changemakers from across the UK the opportunity, resources and support they need to turn their ideas into real community-led projects that make a difference in their local area. With mentoring and guidance from Unloc, they can transform passion and creativity into determined and tangible social action.
