Experience the atmosphere of the Great Manchester Run with this event!

The biggest, and probably, the  best kids’ run in the North West! The AJ Bell Junior and Mini Great Manchester Run is back on Saturday 25th May 2024.

Join the action at the Etihad Campus, the day before the AJ Bell Great Manchester Run, giving the younger ones their own day to take centre stage with fancy dress, high-fives, and lots of local support!  

It’s an incredible event and all part of the iconic Great Manchester Run weekend of running. Why not go along and be a part of it?
