Make some noise for the biggest – and, in our humble opinion, best – kids’ run in the North West! The AJ Bell Junior and Mini Great Manchester Run is back on Saturday 25th May 2024. Join us at the Etihad Campus in Manchester, the day before the AJ Bell Great Manchester Run, giving the younger ones their own day to take centre stage with fancy dress, high-fives, and lots of local support! It’s an incredible event and all part of the iconic Great Manchester Run weekend of running. Come and be a part of it!
Find your superpower!
We want each and every one of our young runners, and spectators, to discover their own superpower – whether it’s racing, fundraising or being a superstar spectator. We’re also inviting our enthusiastic runners (big and small!) to come in superhero fancy dress on the day! We’re thinking capes, eye masks and something else to showcase your own power…
Mini entrants (3-8 yrs) must run with a parent, each child should be entered into the event. Junior entrants do not need to be accompanied by an adult although this can be requested upon entry if required, each child should be entered into the event.
