Our Events
- We Love Manchester Active Challenge: 10th August – 6th September
The organisers of the Great Manchester Run have announced alternative plans to celebrate the event, despite its cancellation due to the public health crisis caused by Coronavirus. The challenge aims to give everyone a challenge to stay motivated, an opportunity to still commemorate the iconic event, and most importantly to continue fundraising for their chosen charities.

We Love MCR Firewalk: 26th March 2020 – Exchange Square
The ultimate mind-over-matter challenge! Walk in bare feet over 500 degrees hot coals… You’ll receive an hour of training and motivation, before stepping out on this walk of a lifetime. Bring your friends to cheer you on, capture the moment on camera, and then we can all celebrate together at the after-party.
