Greater Manchester Manchester Marathon in Trafford
CAN YOU HELP CHANGE LIVES THROUGH SPORT?
Please see Greater Manchester Marathon blog on the left hand side where we want you to talk to us and other runners taking part in the Greater Manchester Marathon.
After a 10 year absence, 2012 will see the return of a marathon in Greater Manchester. The Greater Manchester Marathon in Trafford will take place on the 29th April 2012, when thousands of runners will take to the streets to achieve their personal goals and charity targets.
Xtra Mile Events, the organisers of this fantastic event, are working with GreaterSport to promote various opportunities for people to get involved.
More than 5,000 people have already registered to take part in the upcoming marathon, and it is expected that around 8000 will compete on the big day in April 2012. The route will start and finish in Longford Park in Stretford taking in iconic landmarks such as the Imperial War Museum, the new Media City, and the beautiful Dunham Massey.
We are looking for a team of twenty runners to raise funds to support our efforts to help everyone, young and old, in Greater Manchester to access and be involved in sport and physical activity.
Our target is to raise £10,000, so £500 per runner. We will help you every step of the way with training plans and advice to suit you and your marathon goals. We will be available at anytime through your training via an online blog that will enable our team of runners to get to know each other and discuss progress and tips together in the 4 months leading up to 29th April. On the big day we will make sure you are well supported along the route, and will have a specific family and friends fan base to ensure everyone can watch and celebrate your success with you.
Please see documents below to help with your training and fundraising.
