Join us for a very special running challenge!

The Sixty in 60 challenge is simple – we want to appeal to over 60 people to take part in this year’s Great Manchester Run in aid of St Ann’s – and for each participant to aim to finish the 10km distance in 60 minutes.   

The challenge, which was devised by long-term supporter Mitchell Brough, has evolved from last year’s event, which saw more than 50 sporting superstars take on a Fifty in 50 challenge in honour of our 50th anniversary. 

The Great Manchester Run will be taking place on Sunday 22nd May 2022, with 10km and half marathon routes.

The Sixty in 60 challenge will be open to all St Ann’s runners but this is an optional challenge for runners who wish to push themselves further for the hospice. We would still love to also welcome other runners who would like to complete the run in their own time, as part of #TeamStAnns. 

Team members running for St Ann’s will get free entry into the run, we’re asking that you try to raise a minimum of £200 sponsorship for St Ann’s for the 10km distance, or £300 for the half marathon. You’ll also have the opportunity to attend training events, will receive a free #TeamStAnns running vest and a special fundraising pack. There will also be a post-event party to celebrate the achievements of the runners.
