Join us for the Women’s Run Series Manchester 5K & 10K on Sunday 16th May 2027!

Be part of the first ever Women’s Run Series event at MediaCity, with 5K and 10K distances designed to welcome runners of all abilities.

Starting and finishing in the MediaCity Piazza, the route follows a 2.5K loop through the heart of MediaCity UK. Along the way, you’ll cross the Millennium Bridge, pass the Imperial War Museum North, and run alongside the ITV and BBC television studios.

The beginner-friendly course makes this a great choice for your first ever race, your next 10K challenge, or another memorable event to add to your running calendar.

The Women’s Run Series creates a safe and inclusive space for women to enjoy running together, supported by a female events team and a welcoming race-day atmosphere.

Choose your distance, secure your place, and join us in Manchester this May 2027!

Race Day Schedule

10:00 am5k & 10k

Each kilometre is accurately marked with distance flags and our friendly marshals will guide and cheer you all the way to the finish. We cannot wait to welcome you to the Women's Run Series.

With RunThrough you can expect a friendly team of marshals to help guide you round the course and cheer you on to the finish, a lively and well-serviced event village with plenty of food and drink options including free goodies from our partners at the finish line after your hard effort.

We have been extensively researching what runners consider important, and sustainability is fast becoming the top issue. Click here to see what RunThrough is doing for sustainability.

You can now grab your Women's Run Series event t-shirt for more than 30% off when you buy it as part of your entry on checkout! With the event logo printed on the chest, it’s the perfect keepsake to celebrate your race and wear your achievement with pride!

We can do this with our partner RT Kit as part of a strategic decision to raise awareness about the quality of the product whilst reducing the overall cost of events for those who would prefer not to have a t-shirt included.

Come and enjoy the day with us. Once you enter you will receive a confirmation email. More information will be sent closer to the event.

We can’t wait to see you on the start line!
