ROYAL MANCHESTER CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL HALF MARATHON

We have been running the ROYAL MANCHESTER CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL HALF MARATHON for the past 27 years with some very good results in raising money for Royal Manchester Children’s hospital normally takes place in September and will this year be one of the Central Lance Grand Prix league races.
