April 19 2026: Manchester Marathon 2026

Who needs London when you’ve got Manchester?

Disappointingly Reverse Rett have never been able to buy guaranteed charity places for the London Marathon. We rely on kind people being lucky in the ballot and choosing us as their charity and we are truly thankful that so many have done that over the past 15 years.

We do have guaranteed places for the Manchester Marathon through our partnership with Run for Charity. We had a Reverse Rett team run it in 2024 and some of them are already signed up again for 2026.

It’s a great route with huge crowds and an electric atmosphere. At the end of the day, 26.2 miles is 26.2 miles of running wherever you do it so if running a Marathon is something you’ve always thought of doing then think no more, join the Reverse Rett team in Manchester on April 19th 2026.

Please contact Andy Stevenson (who will be running alongside you) at [email protected] to secure your place.
