Where is Walk for Humanity Manchester?
Walk for Humanity Manchester will start and finish at Castlefield Bowl in the city centre. The 10k circular route takes in many of Manchester’s most iconic sites, including Cathedral Square, the Northern Quarter, Manchester Museum and Alan Turing Park. It's a great way to meet people, take on a fundraising challenge and get those steps in.
