The Greater Manchester Mayor's Charity has supported over 4000 individuals and 165 organisations since 2019. They have funded 70,000 nights of accommodation through the "A Bed Every Night" scheme, and awarded over £3m in grants to local causes.

The Manchester 24 Hour Run Against Homelessness is a mass participation group relay run that is held over 24 hours. Runners and walkers set off together in waves to complete 5km laps in the city centre of Manchester, all to raise money for the Greater Manchester Mayor's Charity scheme 'A Bed Every Night'.

For the past few years, GoodGym Stockport have teamed up to run the relay laps in the centre of Manchester with a whole host of running clubs from far and wide with the intention of clocking up miles to donate to the charity.

On the hour and on the half, for 24 hours, runners set off on 5km relays to keep the city moving for a whole day!

Can we beat our distance from 2023?!

We have a Goodgym group run slot from 8pm (20:00) from Freight Island so get there a bit beforehand. The event runs from 12:00 noon on Wednesday to 12:00 Thursday so feel free to run at any time best fits you! Any pics or experiences, sign up and let me know and I can include them in any run report.

Options are available to run between 5km and 10km in total

Remember that we run to and from the task, so you'll only be running for half this distance in one go.

This is a standard GoodGym group run. If you can't run for more than 15mins without stopping or you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact us or see if there's a starter session coming up in your area.
