Junior & Mini Great Manchester Run 2025

Make some noise for one of the biggest – and, in our humble opinion, best – kids’ running event in the North West! 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.

Rainbow Trust runners will also get:

• Child's t-shirt and accompanying adult t-shirt.
• Our famous rainbow hair.
• Dedicated fundraising support and advice.

*Mini entrants (3-8 yrs) must run with a parent, each child should be entered into the event. Junior entrants do not need to be accompanied by an adult although this can be requested upon entry if required, each child should be entered into the event.
