The adidas Manchester Marathon, the UK's second-largest marathon and one of Europe's biggest, is an iconic event drawing participants to the vibrant streets of Greater Manchester from all around the world.

The organisers pride themselves on welcoming all abilities to take on the 26.2-mile challenge, from elite runners to those who think completing a marathon will never be possible. Many regular runners find this the ideal event to get a personal best time, whilst everybody finds the incredible Mancunian support throughout the course unforgettable.

2024 saw a record-breaking 32,000 people sign up to take on the challenge after final entries sold out months in advance. 2025 is set to be the biggest year yet!

So come and join Team Lily on 27th April 2025 and be a mito hero.
