Introducing the Great Run Series

Breathing Matters has introduced The Great Run Series to our event portfolio for our fundraisers.  These include The Great Bristol Run, The Great Manchester Run, The Great Scottish Run and The Great South Run.  Each event offers a unique course and a challenging, yet rewarding, experience for runners of all levels.

The Great Bristol Run is a half marathon distance race that takes runners through the city centre, past some of Bristol’s most iconic landmarks. The route is super-scenic and fairly flat with a mix of city streets and scenic parks, making it an ideal choice for both first-time runners and experienced athletes.

The Great Manchester Run (21st May 2023) takes runners through the heart of the city, past some of its most famous sights, including Old Trafford and the Imperial War Museum. With a mostly flat route, it’s a great opportunity to set a personal best time. In true Mancunian style, it’s a party from start to finish, with a high-energy soundtrack, live music and entertainment zones at every turn.

The Great Scottish Run is a half marathon or 10K race that takes runners through Glasgow’s city centre and along the banks of the River Clyde. And Scotland’s friendliest city always delivers on the support front too, with crowds turning out each year to cheer and high-five from beginning to end.

This is probably the world’s favourite 10-miler, with inspiring history, salty air and glorious sea views guaranteed.
