Great Manchester Run 2022 road closures for 10k and half marathon races

The Great Manchester Run returns to the city this weekend, with thousands of athletes taking on the 10k and half marathon events.

One of the biggest races in Europe, all the action will be broadcast live over on the BBC. The day will feature live music from eight entertainment zones - and, of course, the sound of thousands of supporters cheering on the athletes.

The event takes place on Sunday 22 May with start times staggered throughout the day. The 10k route, which is 6.9 miles shorter than the half marathon, will allow participants to take in the view of Manchester United’s Old Trafford stadium, the award-winning Imperial War Museum at Salford Quays, and The Lowry.
