Join us for another spectacular running celebration in the heart of Manchester with the AJ Bell Great Manchester Run. The AJ Bell Great Manchester Run is the city’s original and best-loved running event – over 99% of runners say they’d recommend it to a friend. 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. However, it’s also a testament to the strength and generous spirit of this incredible city, with thousands of charity runners taking on the challenge of a 10k or half marathon each year to raise millions for charity.
MACS is a small charity making a big impact. In the UK, around 100 babies a year are born with these conditions and increasing numbers of people are seeking our support.
With YOUR help we can transform their lives. Your funds will help MACS to:
support families emotionally during the tough times
provide a platform for people to support each other and share experiences
share information, resources and essential equipment
organise social and sporting activities to build self-confidence and independence
fund research into genetic causes of the MACS conditions
