Manchester Half Marathon 2022: what is the route runners will take through the city?

The Manchester Half Marathon is nearly upon us and runners will be gearing up to pass through the sights and sounds of Manchester.

In 2022, the half marathon has a new route which is hoped will take in more of the city than ever before.

The route has been revealed in full and thousands of runners will take to the streets in just days.

A spokesperson for the Manchester Half Marathon explained what runners can expect from the 2022 route

They said: “The route may be slightly different, but some things never change, as usual, you can expect cheer stations and unrivalled support from the crowds as you conquer the 13.1 mile course (think loud and then double it).

“We can’t wait to see you at the start line. If you are planning to support runners on the route, keep an eye on this page for our dedicated event guide over the coming months.

“The route will be officially measured by an independent body, and a certificate issued to ratify the official Half Marathon distance.”
