The University of Manchester invites all students, staff, alumni, offer holders and members of our wider community to join the Purple Wave this year. This is a completely free event, organised by UoM Sport. You can choose to take on a distance of 2.5k, 5k, 10k, half marathon or one of your choice – and we’d love you to take part whether you were due to join in with our on-site Purple Wave events this year or not.
