The Great Manchester Run is known for its buzzing atmosphere, incredible supporters and the booming anthems that rock the city's streets.
There are two ways you can join Team Macmillan for the Great Manchester Run 2021 Half Marathon:
Macmillan Charity Place Entry
Our charity places are a great way to make a difference to people affected by cancer with every step. We ask that you pledge to raise a minimum of £350 in sponsorship (excluding Gift Aid) and there’s a £25 registration fee.
To enter, simply click the ‘Get a place’ button and complete our online entry form.
The registration fee is payable to Macmillan Cancer Support Trading Limited which is wholly owned subsidiary of Macmillan Cancer Support. Macmillan Cancer Support Trading Limited donates 100% of its profits to Macmillan Cancer Support each year.
Own Place Entry
Visit the events organiser's website to secure your own place in the run, then fill in our 'I have my own place' form to join the team and order your running kit.
Looking for a different distance?
We also have places available in the 10k distance, take a look at the Great Manchester Run 10k for more information.
Whichever way you choose to join Team Macmillan, we'll support you every step of the way with:
And of course... the loudest and most supportive cheerers on the course!
Most importantly we will provide you with a reason to put in those months of training and fundraising, because you know that your efforts will help everyone with cancer live life as fully as they can.
Please make sure you read our Terms and Conditions before signing up. You must be 17 years of age or over on the day of the event in order to take part.
If you have any questions, email us at running@macmillan.org.uk or call on 0300 100 0200.
