Manchester 10K Run
If you’re looking for a bit of a challenge, a 10k run is a perfect event for you. Here’s everything you need to know about our Manchester 10k races.
Preparing for your 10k
A 10k is a great running distance if you’re still fairly new to organised races, and the electric atmosphere on race day is sure to spur you on and help you cross that finish line. A 10k is also a great way of building up to a half marathon or full marathon race. Check out our race calendar for upcoming UK 10k runs in and around Greater Manchester. Select the event you want to participate in, sign up – and get training! You will receive a confirmation email letting you know you were successful in signing up for your chosen race. During the week of the event you will receive another email with all the info you need, including what time to arrive, how to get to the start line, and what to expect on the day.
Your entry fee will give you timed chip results, water and refreshments, a unique themed medal for all finishers, and sometimes you’ll even score some more post-race goodies. We’ll have a friendly RunThrough UK support team in place on the day to ensure you have a great event day experience.
On your marks, get set… GO!
We host races in Manchester all year round, including 5k, 10k, half marathon and full marathon distances. So, what are you waiting for?

Manchester 10k FAQs
Can you walk a Manchester 10k?
Even the most seasoned runners slow to walk sometimes. Many of our runners aim to improve each time they participate in a race, slowly reducing how often they slow to a walk, and for how long. Sometimes the race will have a closing time, so make sure you keep at a pace that will ensure you have time to finish.
How long is the great Manchester run?
We host races in Manchester for various distances including 5k, 10k, half marathon and full marathon. Some events even have the option for you to choose your distance on the day!
How long does it take to train for 10k?
It really depends on your existing level of fitness, and how often you plan on training. In general, for complete beginners, you should allow between 6 to 12 weeks to train before a 10k. And remember to give yourself rest days during training – you don’t want to overdo it before you even reach event day!
What is the Manchester 10k run course?
The course you will run depends on the event you choose to participate in. Check out our events for races at Heaton Park and Media City in Greater Manchester to get an idea of some of the courses your race may take. To make up the distance, there are variations to the course depending on if you choose the manchester 5k, 10k or half marathon route.
How do I get to the 10k race?
Each of our event pages contain info on how to get to the race on the day. Sometimes the best way to get to the event is by rail, such as our Run Media City events, which can be accessed from the city centre.
