The event is one of the highlights of our sporting calendar and has already raised tens of thousands of pounds for local and national charities.
Whichever run you choose, you'll be starting and finishing on The Esplanade, near the stunning Rochdale Town Hall, one of the finest buildings in Europe.
Our traffic-free courses retain an exciting and varied feel, taking you on a tour of our historic town and breath-taking countryside.
All courses will be fully marshalled, traffic-free, signed and have water stations at regular intervals. All runs are chip timed. There'll be a medal for completing the half marathon, 10K and fun run. The fun run is suitable for all the family – you can walk, jog, skip, or even wear fancy dress.
