The BUPA Great Manchester Run is one of the world's fastest growing running events and Britain 's premier 10k.
The BUPA Great Manchester Run 2007 will take place on Sunday 20th May. This year's run will feature a great course, even more bands, the charity village at Manchester Central (formally G-Mex), plus a whole range of other activities and entertainments across the City.
To ensure the best possible running experience for everyone, the BUPA Great Manchester Run will again feature 4 waves. The first wave will go off at 1000. Your race information pack will make it clear which wave you are running in. For 2007, all wave allocations will be based on the estimated running time that each runner submits on their entry form.
The run is over a 10km course, which will be fully measured and certified pre event. The race starts and finishes in the City Centre.
