Great Manchester Run has launched two new virtual events after making the tough decision to cancel the iconic runs around Manchester.

For 2020, Great Manchester Run will be hosting the We Love Manchester Challenge, which includes a junior option and the My Manchester Active Challenge.

The We Love Manchester Challenge began on Monday 10th August and will end on Sunday 6th September 2020. The event will challenge event-goers to complete 15 activities, whether that be a run, jog or walk over 28 days in a distance of your choice.

Tickets cost just £10 to enter and in return, you’ll receive a special edition medal and certificate. This challenge is also available to junior competitors with no cost for signing up. Enter here today.

Alongside this, Great Manchester Run is giving everyone who originally signed up to the official run a chance to earn their medal. From now until the weekend of the event (Sunday 6th September), runners can complete a 10k or half-marathon challenge and receive their medal once they have submitted a screenshot of their run.

You can still sign-up to the My Great Manchester Active Challenge with tickets costing just £10. Enter the challenge today.

Join Team St Ann’s and you’ll get loads of perks, including:

  • A #TeamStAnns running vest
  • A fundraising pack with fun ideas and tips
  • Regular training and nutrition advice

Step Up

Our St Ann’s nurses walk an average of two miles a day when caring for our patients. Can you walk 30 days in their shoes, and take on our virtual challenge?

Dates: 1st – 30th September

Location: Wherever you want!

What is Step Up?

Simply set yourself a target distance to walk – or run – in the month of September and help us by raising as much money as you can in sponsorship. Choose your target distance a day, and do it your way! Perhaps you could try and match our nurses and take on two miles a day for thirty days? Depending on your stride this is approx 4,000 steps a day. Or, you could try and walk the distance equivalent to walking from our Heald Green site, to our Little Hulton site, to our Neil Cliffe site – 40 miles – in a week – that’s approx 6 miles a day.

It’s up to you! After all, it’s your challenge. 30 days your way, pick your distance, put on your shoes, and you’re off!

Why take part?

Every donation received will enable us to give specialist care to our patients and support their loved ones. Your health will benefit too…

According to NHS Guidelines, adults should aim to be active daily.

The benefits include:

  • Reduces the risk of a range of diseases e.g. coronary heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes
  • Helps maintain a healthy weight
  • Helps maintain the ability to perform everyday tasks with ease
  • Improves self-esteem
  • Reduces symptoms of depression and anxiety


The staff at The Foundry stepped up in support of our colleague, whose partner was diagnosed with a rare cancer and received exceptional care at St Ann’s. We wanted to help them both and thank St Ann’s for their amazing work.
