About the ASICS Manchester Half Marathon

  • The ASICS Manchester Half returns on Sunday 4 October and will once again welcome thousands of runners of all abilities to take on 13.1 miles through the vibrant streets of Greater Manchester.
  • Renowned for its fast and flat route, electric crowd support and slick event-day experience, the race has become a firm favourite for first-time half marathon runners and seasoned athletes chasing personal bests.
  •  In 2025, a record 28,000 participants lined up at the Trafford Arch start line, making it the largest half marathon ever staged in Manchester.
  • Closed road, festival atmosphere and beginner friendly!

Your fundraising helps us reach more people

Together, we can reach disabled people with complex needs and their families at a time when they need it most. With the help of our amazing #TeamSense fundraisers, we can continue providing even more support:

  • £135 could pay for a family to make memories on a Sense Family Day.
  • £500 could pay for a deafblind child to have a visit from a Sense specialist teacher, including an assessment and expert advice.
