The adidas Manchester Marathon, the UK's second largest marathon and one of Europe's largest is an iconic event drawing participants from all over the world to the vibrant streets of Greater Manchester.
We pride ourselves in welcoming all to take on our 26.2 mile challenge, from some superb elite runners, to those who thought completing a marathon would 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 before. 2025 is set to be the biggest year yet as the event returns on Sunday 27th April.
Young Women’s Trust offers support to young women aged 18 to 30, who are living on low or no pay and want to build a better future. We campaign for young women’s equality in the workplace and our research examines what young women’s lives are really like. There are 1 million young women in England and Wales struggling to live on low or no pay. We want them to thrive and see a fairer working future. Our vision is one where young women have the freedom to choose work that fosters their talents and are paid fair wages in secure workplaces. When young women’s contributions are valued, all of society prospers. Our mission is to give economic power to young women. We want to fire their imaginations, aspirations and raise their voices. By challenging sexist work roles that trap young women in poverty, we can rebuild workplaces free from discrimination and inequality.
