(1)About Running in Greater Manchester on Verus
5 distances, 11 races: that is the spread Verus has found in Greater Manchester so far, from 5 ultra marathons, 2 10Ks, 2 half marathons, 1 5K and 1 marathon. Whatever you are training for, there is likely a start line here for it.
March is when Greater Manchester actually races — it is the busiest of the 6 months on the calendar here, and the other months thin out fast either side of it. A tune-up race and a goal race may land closer together than you would plan for elsewhere.
On top of the races above, there are 25 parkruns in Greater Manchester every Saturday morning, at no cost to enter — for most people here, that is where running actually started.
