About

The AJ Bell Junior & Mini Great Manchester Run is back on Saturday 17 May 2025 and entries are open!
Get the whole family involved in next year’s AJ Bell Junior and Mini Great Manchester Run, where our youngest runners (3-8) take on a fun and frenzied 1.6km dash, whilst our junior runners (9-15) take on a 2.5km supercharged sprint.
Come along and experience this fun running party at the Etihad Campus. It’s an incredible event held the day before the iconic AJ Bell Great Manchester Run that allows the younger runners to take centre stage with fancy dress, high-fives, lots of local support from the Manchester crowd, and a medal at the finish line.
