The Great Manchester Run 2026
Join our patron Shaykh Mohammed Al Yaqoubi on the streets of Manchester this May. Do you have the stamina, time, and determination to embark on a challenging that will test both your body and your mind? However this year, your run needs to be more than a personal accomplishment.
Sunday the 31st of May 2026 will see tens of thousands of people from across the UK flock to the city centre to participate in this charity event. This will be where you will run for something more.
When you register and run the 10K or the half marathon, you turn temporary discomfort into a permanent difference for others. Hunger and thirst are not temporary struggles for the families in Gaza, Syria and Pakistan. They are a grim reality they are faced with everyday. Whilst you prepare for a race they are busy trying to feed their families and quench their thirst.
View this challenge not merely as a chance to improve yourself, but as an opportunity to act upon your beliefs, as well as fulfill your duty as a Muslim and support the Ummah.

Join NowThe Importance of Your Run
A large number of people running an event will bring thousands of pounds sponsorship and change thousands of lives. Your network will become a source of survival for the most vulnerable people.
More than a Fitness Challenge
Every run requires discipline. Every run for survival requires total commitment. A charity run provides you with a sense of purpose, forcing you to remain dedicated to the cause and accountable to your sponsors and the people dependent upon your fundraising. This responsibility builds an insurmountable mental fortitude.
Reward Yourself, Mentally and Spiritually
Running is obviously beneficial for your cardio fitness and your body's stamina, but a run for Allah's sake will enhance your compassion, your humanity and your character, by offering a glimpse of the struggles our beneficiaries endure and by building your body as a vehicle for change.
Everyone can be part of this amazing race and run for charity no matter your running level of experience. Make your miles count.
