Race numbers

Travel

By car

There are various car parks available - it will cost £1.50 to park.

The nearest car park to the start/finish can be accessed through the St Margaret's Road entrance (M25 2GT). There is another car park off the A576 Middleton Road, which is about a 10-minute walk away from the start/finish, and another car park off the A6044 Sheepfoot Lane, which is about a 15-minute walk from the start/finish.

By tram

The nearest tram stop is Heaton Park, which is on Bury Old Road. If you're traveling from Manchester city centre, catch the Bury service.

It is a 10-15 minute walk to the start/finish area. From the tram stop, cross the road and enter the park through the gates, then head straight until you come to a T-junction. Turn left here - the start/finish area is at the top of the hill on the right-hand side.

By bus

The nearest bus stop is next to the tram stop on Bury Old Road. The 135 runs regularly from Piccadilly Gardens.
