This well-known half marathon takes runners along wide, traffic-free roads through Old Trafford, Stretford, and Brooklands, with plenty of crowd support and entertainment throughout the route. The course is notably flat, making it a great choice for chasing a new personal best or for those tackling their first half marathon. A smooth final two-mile stretch leads runners to the finish at Emirates Old Trafford, home of Lancashire County Cricket Club.
