This Sunday, 25 runners from MaK will set out to complete the Great Manchester Run. The course snakes through the streets of Manchester, along the Salford quays past Old Trafford and back up to Deansgate, with over 50,000 runners completing the course each year. Alongside our UK based runners, Luljete Shala will be flying in from Kosovo to take part in the elite women’s race.

Our runners are running to raise funds towards the maintenance of the Peace Park and in particular supporting our gardeners wages for working on the peace park. Our gardeners Rexhap and Jacob have worked on the peace park for the last ten years having been involved since the beginning.

MaK will run the live music at a stage net to Oast House and also greet the runners at the end of the course, distributing water and t-shirts. Live music has been curated by Jo Dudderidge of traveling band and will feature a number of highly talented local bands.

Anyone who would like to donate, please check our Facebook page. If you are in Manchester this weekend please come and visit the stage and learn more about what we do.
