Run Wild MCR return with their epic 24 hour fundraiser, inviting runners from across the city-region to a mass participation 24 hour relay run.

Fast becoming a firm favourite amongst Manchester’s running community, Greater Manchester Mayor’s Charity are honoured to have the support and commitment of Run Wild MCR, the social running club at University of Manchester who host and organise this inspiring race.

James Bannister, Run Wild MCR, said:

“The event was set up in 2019 by members of Run Wild MCR, the social running club at the University of Manchester. There would be no Run Wild MCR without MCR. It’s not just the city we run through on a Tuesday night, it’s the vibrant, inclusive community of runners - and beyond - that we are proud to be a part of. We believe that our city, like our sport, is for everyone.

But, with homelessness rates in Greater Manchester among the highest in the country, thousands of people remain literally locked out. The Manchester 24 Hour Run Against Homelessness was born out of our desire to bring people together from across the city and support the work of local organisations helping people off the streets and back into the community by raising funds for the Greater Manchester Mayor’s Charity."

The 2022 race raised more than £12,600 adding to the previous few years total of more than £11,500. It is a phenomenal effort, and we can’t wait for November 2023!
