Brought to you by the people behind the Great North Run, the AJ Bell Manchester Half Marathon is one of the UK’s flattest, fastest, and friendliest races. Whether you’re chasing a personal best or taking on your first half marathon, this iconic event is perfect for runners of all abilities. 

Join Team Brain Charity for an unforgettable experience running through different music zones (all pumping out Manchester anthems) and make a real difference while you’re at it! 

By running the Manchester Half Marathon for The Brain Charity, you’ll be helping to fund life-changing support for people affected by neurological conditions across the UK.  

Please fill in the registration form below and tell us a little bit about yourself, the reasons you want to run for The Brain Charity, and how you plan to raise the pledged minimum fundraising target of £250 to be in with a chance of running!  

Not quite ready for a half marathon? Let us know if you would rather run the course through a 10k instead! 

All #TeamTheBrainCharity runners receive:   

• Knowledge that your fundraising will support our vital work helping people with all forms of neurological conditions and their families, friends, and carers to live longer, healthier, happier lives.    

• A #TeamTheBrainCharity running vest or t-shirt to wear on race day.   

• Support throughout your fundraising journey from a dedicated member of the fundraising team.
