Run or walk a chip-timed 5k, starting and finishing in the centre of Media City in Manchester. You will head out around a 2.5km loop that runs over the canal and past the Imperial War Museum, along with the ITV and BBC television studios. This course is not only flat and fast but also inspiring! It’s not just about the race, it’s about fostering teamwork, promoting wellbeing, and embracing the spirit of corporate unity.

What is the ForCorporate Relay?

The ForCorporate Relay is a chance to come together with your colleagues and friends, strengthening bonds within your team. There’s a chance to boost employee morale and wellbeing, demonstrate your company’s commitment to social responsibility and network with like-minded professionals.

Whether you’re a seasoned sprinter, a gentle jogger, or prefer a leisurely stroll with lively banter, we cater to all preferences and paces. It’s not just about crossing the finish line, it’s about the journey you embark upon with your colleagues.

With four different race options for your team, there’s an event for everyone!

Choose from:

  • Relay race: women
  • Relay race: men
  • Relay race: mixed
  • Walk as a team, not individually

The relay is for teams of three people and includes a drink and food voucher!

Enter your team now!

How far is the race?

All routes are five kilometres. In the relay race categories, one team member will run at a time. In the walk category, the entire team walks the route together.

 

How much do I have to raise and what is the entry fee?

Teams are entered in groups of three, and there is an entry fee of £100 per team of three. Your entry includes a food and drink voucher to use on the day!

We ask that each team raises £300 to help make a better life for cats. You can enter as many teams as you like! Why not bring some friendly competition into the mix and see which team can reach their £300 target first?
