NOTHING BEATS A JET2 HOLIDAY… BUT ON THE 19TH OF APRIL, THE ADIDAS MANCHESTER MARATHON COMES PRETTY CLOSE.

Jet2 are touching down at the adidas Manchester Marathon with a start-line takeover, the ultimate on-course cheer zone and a Strava Challenge with a holiday voucher up for grabs. Here’s what to expect on event day:

YOUR DEPARTURE CAPTAIN

Every great trip needs a great send-off. Meet Zoe – your Jet2 Departure Captain on the start line. You may already recognise her iconic voice from your Jet2 flights, but on race day, she’ll be the one getting 42,000 people ready for their official take-off. Manchester is ready, the crowds are waiting – consider this your final boarding call.

THE JET2 RUNWAY – MILE 22, CHORLTON

Four miles to go. This is where the marathon changes and Jet2 are making sure you feel it. Welcome to the Jet2 Runway: a full holiday-mode zone at mile 22 in Chorlton, designed to give you a lift right when you need it most. Think cheer squads, Mediterranean beats, a juice bar, giveaways and the sights, sounds and even the scent of somewhere sunny, right there on the course! Hit the Runway, soak up the atmosphere and run the last four miles with a smile on your face and that holiday feeling in your legs.

And it’s not just for participants, spectators and supporters are welcome to come along and soak up the holiday vibes too. Head to the Jet2 Runway in Chorlton, cheer your runner through mile 22 and enjoy the atmosphere, music and giveaways while you wait.

RUN THE SEGMENT, WIN A HOLIDAY VOUCHER

Running with Strava? The Jet2 Runway is also an official Strava segment! So make sure Strava is tracking before you reach mile 22, then simply run through the Jet2 Runway and let the segment do the rest. One stretch means one shot at bagging a Jet2 holiday voucher.

Nothing beats that finish-line feeling, unless it comes with a holiday voucher in your pocket…
