Greater Manchester Marathon

If you’ve ever thought about running a marathon, but didn’t fancy  competing for a place for the London Marathon, why not run the Greater Manchester Marathon in Trafford on 29th April 2012.

A marathon is a great goal to work towards, and of course a great  way to raise money for Henshaws. 

This is Manchester’s first  marathon for over a decade and as Henshaws was chosen as one  of the charity partners for the event, we’d love you to run for us!

 

The race will take place right on our doorstep in Trafford and will start and finish in Longford Park in Stretford (5 minutes away from our Manchester resource centre) You will be joining the 5000 runners expected to take part and will pass iconic landmarks such as Old Trafford football and cricket grounds and Dunham Massey Park over the 26 mile course.

There’s still plenty of time to start your training for the marathon – Coach Julie Fairclough has put together some fantastic training plans for everyone from beginners to experienced runners.  Even if you have just a little experience in running, Julie is confident her training plans will help you to complete the marathon in a good time. http://www.greatermanchestermarathon.com/training/training-plans

We have a limited number of places available, but they’re going fast.  If you want to take part in this landmark event and run for Henshaws, please book your place by contacting Hannah.saxon@henshaws.org.uk 01423 814501

Be part of this historic event and run for Henshaws!
