Live Tracker Link for the 200 Mile Greater Manchester Ringway Relay, 26-27th June, 2026

25th June 2026

On Friday, 26th June we begin the 200 mile relay of the GM Ringway, starting in Norden, Jubilee Gardens. Here is the link to track us. The relay legs and very approximate start times are shown below.

The fascinating route covers a wide variety of landscapes within the city-region’s countryside and other green spaces, across all ten Greater Manchester boroughs. Its not flat – the total ascent is over 18,300ft. The route passes more than 40 Grade I and II*-listed buildings, including Bramall Hall in Stockport and Haigh Hall in Wigan; 13 accredited museums, such as the Imperial War Museum in Trafford, and 14 scheduled ancient monuments including Blackstone Edge Roman Road in Rochdale. The route goes through 57 conservation areas, nine sites of special scientific interest, 18 local nature reserves and parts of the Peak District National Park.

We are also raising money for Springhill Hospice. We would be delighted if you could sponsor us.

Usually the route starts in central Manchester. Being from Rochdale, we decided to start it here (in Norden) at Leg 12 and run it counter-clockwise. This is a series of social training runs, linked together, not a race. We have no particular time target in mind but would like to finish in time for a curry and a few drinks on Saturday evening, 27th June. We will post picture reports on Facebook as we progress.
