The people of Manchester and beyond are being encouraged to put on their running shoes and support their City by taking part in the We Love Manchester Charity 10K run on Sunday 12 July 2015.
Billed as ‘the people’s run’, the race will raise money for the We Love Manchester Charity. A key focus of the charity is on children, young people, families and older people experiencing disadvantage, with the purpose of making a difference to people’s lives.
The race starts and finishes at the Regional Athletics Arena at SportCity, following a route around the outside of the Etihad Stadium, the home of Manchester City Football Club, and the local area.
Lord Mayor of Manchester, Councillor Sue Cooley, said “The We Love MCR 10K run is always a spectacular event and it’s heart-warming to know that so many people are willing to take part and raise money for charity.
“The We Love Manchester Charity aims to improve the lives and life chances of Manchester people and the run is a fantastic way to help the charity continue to support local residents.
“Last year saw more than 3,500 people take part, entries are now open, so I hope to see even more runners signing up for what is certain to be a magnificent day.”
Marathon legend and Sports Tours International ambassador Ron Hill MBE commented ‘’The We Love Manchester 10K run truly is the ‘people’s run’ and I am proud to be a part of such a great incentive for Manchester. It is a fantastic run and great to see so many local communities get involved to help the people of Manchester.’’
The first 3 people over the finish line will win a cash prize; £250 for the winner, £150 for second place and £75 for third place. The run also includes free onsite parking, chip timing, a medal and commemorative technical t-shirt given to all finishers.
