If 26.2 miles sounds a little too daunting, why not team up with friends, family or colleagues to cover the distance between you?

The Manchester Marathon Relays offers both two and four person relay options, with each person covering part of the course. Each member of the relay team will receive a chunky medal at the finish line.

Please note, the relay legs are not exact splits, but are similar in distance. Details for 2021 are yet to be confirmed, but the splits for the previous event were:
