Choose between a 2.5k or 5k route, and take part at your own pace by running, jogging, or walking around the scenic paths of Platt Fields Park. Whether you’re aiming to beat a personal best, building confidence ahead of longer distances, or simply heading out to enjoy the fresh spring air and a supportive atmosphere, this event truly is for everyone, regardless of ability or experience.
For participants who would like to track their progress, a race timing system will be in place, giving you the chance to see how you’re doing and measure your performance on the day. It’s a great way to stay motivated, set personal goals, or just add a fun, competitive edge if that’s your thing.
This event also makes the perfect preparation for the Purplewave Great Manchester Run 10k taking place in May 2026, whether you’re running it for the first time or looking to improve your time.
Tickets are £5 to take part, or £10 if you’d like to secure one of the popular Purplewave T-shirts, a great keepsake to celebrate your achievement and remember the day.
