Manchester Marathon 2027
Lead the Charge
18 April 2027
The Manchester Marathon is one of the UK's biggest marathons, and its flat, fast course makes it a great choice for first-timers and for anyone chasing a personal best. Run it with Save the Rhino and your miles will help protect rhinos and their habitats. The money you raise also supports the people who live alongside rhinos and the rangers who are central to rhino conservation. You'll be part of a friendly team, with support from us all the way from sign-up to the finish line.
