THE race, which is set to welcome more than 3,500 runners, starts and finishes at the plaza area between the Lowry Theatre and Lowry Outlet Mall before following a route through MediaCityUK and over to Trafford Park.
Reubens Retreat, the Greater Manchester charity set up to support seriously ill children and their families, is this year’s official charity partner. Runners can also raise money for their chosen charity.
Europe’s leading sportswear and equipment retailer, Decathlon, has announced that it will be the Official Title Sponsor.
The first 3 people over the finish line will win a cash prize; £250 for the winner, £150 for second place and £75 for third place. The run also includes chip timing, a medal and commemorative technical t-shirt given to all finishers.
Car parking is available on the day at MediaCityUK car park and the Lowry. Please note, trams will be out of action on race day, but a replacement bus service will be operating.
