Race Overview
The Manchester Marathon is a marathon held in Greater Manchester, England. It was known as the Greater Manchester Marathon until "Greater" was dropped starting with the cancelled 2020 edition. The course starts near Old Trafford and finishes on Oxford Road in central Manchester (a new finish line as of 2025); since 2020 the route has included a 3-mile (4.8 km) loop through the city centre. It is marketed as the flattest marathon course in the UK, with about 54 metres (177 ft) of elevation gain. Times from the 2013, 2014 and 2015 editions were declared invalid after the course was found to be 380 m (1,250 ft) short. The men's course record is 2:10:46, set by Jonny Mellor in 2022; the women's is 2:29:06, set by Becky Briggs the same year. The most recent edition, held 19 April 2026, drew roughly 42,000 finishers.
