Players lead the way in FC's Great Manchester Run squad

Once again this year there will be an FC United team running the Great Manchester Run to raise funds to help FC get closer to our dream of a ground of our own. This year’s race takes place on Sunday 20 May and we have a team of 41 runners, which includes no less than nine players.

All nine players have their own fundraising pages and each of them is being supported and sponsored by an FC United supporters’ branch. We also have a group page for those runners that don’t wish to set up their own fundraising page. This year, for obvious reasons, it’s called "the FC41ers". You can pledge your support to all our runners collectively on the group page by clicking here

Listed below you’ll find links to the players’ pages, along with the FC United branches backing them, and also a list of supporters’ fundraising pages should you wish to sponsor them.

There’s sure to be some healthy competition - and lively banter - between the players who are running the 10k course on 20 May and it will be interesting to see if any of the supporters taking part manage to finish before any of the players. Not that we’re encouraging people to be too competitive of course - it is, after all, the taking part that counts, and the raising of much needed funds for FC United!
