Join us in 2026, for Manchester’s original running event and help raise vital funds for Action for Children!
Each year, the AJ Bell Great Manchester 10K Run brings tens of thousands together on Manchester’s streets.
And in true Mancunian style, it’s a party from start to finish - with a high-energy soundtrack, live music and entertainment zones at every turn. Plus, some of the loudest and most enthusiastic local support we’ve seen anywhere in the UK.

I felt honoured to be running for Action for Children and raising money for a cause that I believe so strongly in. Having so much support from family and friends, as well as the fundraising team, motivated me to keep going and earn every penny of my sponsorship!
