The Blue Run is back at the Etihad for 2023 and we can’t wait to see you all again, in support of Manchester City’s charity, City in the Community!

Taking place on Saturday 25th March, we have two distance options for our fans to choose from. Your mini blues can enjoy taking on our 2.5km route whilst our 5km option offers more of a challenge.

It’s your choice to run, walk or dance your way around the route.

Our Blue Run route will take you from the Etihad Stadium to the City Football Academy, whilst being covered in blue powder along the way!

There will also be a pre-race warm up and entertainment to get you ready to be covered in blue glory!

Some runners might want to push themselves even further, running a set distance in the build up to the Blue Run and finishing their challenge on event day – it’s your run, your way.

Can’t get to the Etihad? Prefer to run at home? No problem! Sign up to our Blue Run at Home and have your own Blue Run and choose a distance of five, 10, or even 15km we will send you a pack in the post – including internationally!
