What to expect on the day

Before you head to the start line, come over to our marquee in the Charity village in Manchester Central. We'd love to say Hi and give your friends and family the cheering equipment they need to support you.  

While you are out running your race, look for our Cancer Research UK volunteers, who will be on our huge cheering bus! Keep an eye out for us at both 1km and 9.5km.

At the end of the race, come back over to see us in the charity village for some refreshments. We guarantee high-fives and big smiles!

Support our runners

Come and cheer on our runners in style on top of our fantastic open top cheering bus located at 9.5km. Sign up today or email kimberly.stewart@cancer.org.uk for more information
