Brand new marathon in Greater Manchester

Henshaws was recently announced as one of the charity partners for the brand new Greater Manchester Marathon in Trafford, Manchester’s first marathon for more than a decade, alongside local charity The Christie.

The race will take place in Trafford and will start and finish in Longford Park in Stretford. The five thousand runners expected to take part will pass iconic landmarks such as the Old Trafford football and cricket grounds and Dunham Massey Park over the 26mile course.

Councillor Jonathan Coupe said it was great news that the area has been chosen to host such a fantastic event.

“It will be a real legacy for Trafford that will grow in the coming years, bringing local people together and attracting people from right across the northwest and beyond”

We are delighted to be chosen as a charity partner, and we’re looking forward to the event.

We still have places available for just £41 entry fee and a minimum sponsorship of £500. If you would like to run with Team Henshaws and be part of the return of the Manchester Marathon, please contact Hannah Saxon for details, hannah.saxon@henshaws.org.uk or on 01423 814 501.
