On Sunday 16th April the adidas Manchester Marathon will be returning to the area. The event is a closed road marathon which will involve some road closures in your area.

Manchester & Trafford will be welcoming around 24,000 participants aiming to achieve their personal goal of completing a marathon, as well as raising money for both local & national charities.

Last April saw 24,000 people take part and raise over £1.9 million for the dedicated event charities, as well as fundraising for other local Manchester and national causes. The event also saw a £5.4 million boost to the local economy.

The traffic management planning with the councils & TfGM for the event is ongoing, but we can confirm the following route which is very similar to the 2022 event.

The organisers will update with details of the various road closure timings towards the end of February. In addition, full road closure information, including an interactive map, will also be included on the website in March. However, should you have any queries or concerns at this stage please do get in touch so these can be discussed.
