I just got another email inviting me to enter! From a quick glance at the website, it's not obvious how to tell if I actually have a place or not...

jda - if you sign into your active.com account you should be able to see whether you have a current registration?

For any locals, Wilmslow HM announced yesterday a new date for 2021 of 12th September. A half marathon 4-weeks before Manchester Marathon sounds perfect for a build-up race... if you think we'll be running races by then...

Thanks, that did the trick, I seem to have asked for (and presumably got) a refund. That makes life easier.

“Guaranteed entries” close Wednesday, 2-days after London marathon ballot results, apparently.

(Not sure if there will be a none-guaranteed way to enter later!)

2022 date confirmed as 3rd April, and early bird entries open, for anybody interested.

Entries for 2021 have also reopened.

@Nelly, any thoughts on what the mara route may be now that they have published the half route?

whiteflash - the 2020 route is linked in the sidebar; they’ve said it will be pretty much the same, and the half route does nothing to go against that.

5-months to go email just landed... “The start times of the Manchester Marathon and Manchester Half will be different, with the Manchester Half going first. Exact timings for both events are yet to be confirmed, but will be between the hours of 08:00 – 12:00. You must stick to the time slot you have been allocated.” is quite concerning about a noon start!

Actually thinking about it a bit further, now that they’ve announced the Half will start from 8am, then I wonder if they’ll adjust the loop around 1-3miles (maybe add it in around mile 8) of the full route, so they don’t have runners running in opposite directions on the same road (as that section is also mile 12-13 of the Half route and 25-26 of the Full).
