MCTF 10km & 5km Run The Track: Manchester 2026

The MCTF 10km & 5km Run The Track: Manchester will take place on September 12, 2026, at the Etihad Campus Athletics Track. This event is part of a series of informal afternoon races held across the UK during late summer and autumn. Both the 5km and 10km races are conducted on an athletics track with a limited number of participants. Each race heat is organized by expected finishing time to ensure runners compete with others of similar pace. The events are open to all runners, whether aiming for a personal best or running for enjoyment at their own pace. Chip timing will record split times for each lap, allowing runners to analyze their pacing, and provide an accurate overall finish time. Participants will receive a custom-designed medal for the series upon finishing. These races are held in conjunction with the MacTuffX Fitness challenges on the same day and at the same location.
