We Love MCR Charity has created a unique package for our friends at Downtown who wish to run Britain’s best 10k and Half Marathon.

Any Downtown Member/Colleague who agrees to raise sponsorship for the iconic We Love MCR Charity can get the exclusive FREE VIP treatment, including – 

  •  A FREE race place! (worth £44 for 10k and £51 for Half Marathon!) 
  • Pre-race access to the Town Hall Extension on St Peter’s Square, where our volunteers will provide a secure bag/coat drop-off point and access to toilets 
  • Post-race access to the Town Hall Extension, where you can use the toilets, pick up your coat/bag, have a FREE celebratory glass of fizz or hot drink on us, and relax before heading home 
  • A letter from the Lord Mayor of Manchester, congratulating you on your efforts and thanking you for your fundraising 

If you’ve ever been to the Great Manchester Run before, you’ll know that access for runners to toilets, secure bag storage and refreshments can involve long queues….  Our FREE VIP package provides the perfect solution, and saves you up to £51… 

“It was well organised and there was a nice, warm welcome from all the staff…. It really added to the experience….” – Joshua Chang, Vimto, speaking about our 2022 GMR event.
