Information for para athletes

Manchester Marathon welcome all Para-Athletes, including elite racing wheelchairs, assisted and unassisted day wheelchairs and racerunners to take part. All athletes must complete the race within the 6 hours cut off time. Please note, the event does not currently allow hand-cycles to enter the races.

Wheelchair Athletes

Disabled athletes using day wheelchairs, race runners or assisted wheelchairs will be filtered into the back of their wave from the Disabled Athletes Access point. You will be filtered into the appropriate wave for your estimated finish time. You will access your wave via the ‘Disabled Athletes Access Point’ which is located at the side of the start pens. There will be dedicated accessibility volunteers from Activity Alliance to assist you. All specific access info will be emailed to you prior to the event.

Assistant/Guides

If running with a guide/assistant, please let the event organisers know and they can issue you with one free place.

Other Disabled Athletes

You can go straight to your allocated start pen as usual; based on your expected finish time / coloured bib.

Alternatively, you are welcome to use the Disabled Athletes Access Point, the designated holding area based at the start, allowing you to be conveniently filtered into your allocated start time nearer the front.

For all Para-Athlete enquiries, please get in touch with the event organisers on [email protected]

Living a life unlimited means so much to me. It means having a big family in the future and living a life full of happiness. I want to be able to live as normal a life as possible and not have constant worries.
