We have now filled our Charity Places for the Manchester Marathon 2026 – good luck to our runners!

Ronald McDonald House Charities UK are proud to be partnering with Run for Charity to offer our supporters the opportunity to run iconic events across the UK. Manchester Marathon is one of the UK’s premier running events, famous for its fast, flat and friendly route.

As a member of #TeamRMHCUK, you can expect to receive one-to-one support from our dedicated Challenge Events Team, a fundraising pack filled with top tips and tricks, and a technical top to wear with pride on your race day.

We have a limited number of charity places via Run for Charity. To secure your spot, we ask you to pay a £50 registration fee and commit to raising £600 for Ronald McDonald House Charities UK.

*Please note registration fees are non-refundable.

If you would like to be added to our waitlist for 2026, please email RMHC.ChallengeEvents@uk.mcd.com.

If you have bought a place in the race already and would like to run for us, sign up here and we’ll get a free Ronald McDonald House Charities UK running top sent to you. There’s no minimum sponsorship, just raise as much as you can!
