Manchester Marathon 2026

Raise funds for local people in one of the largest marathons in Europe, running through the fantastic city of Manchester in this super fast, friendly and flat route from the Emirates Old Trafford. For a charity place, pay just £20 and commit to a fundraising target of £400.

If you’ve already got a place arranged, you can still fundraise for Caritas and receive all the same support and benefits as a charity place runner. There’s no entry fee and no fundraising goal. Just raise as much as you can. Contact us fundraising@caritassalford.org.uk
