Shine Night Walk Manchester

Please bring your own reusable water bottle filled. We have removed our single-use plastic bottles of water at the finish and pit stop stations and instead are providing water re-fill stations for you to top up and stay hydrated! 

The Start & Finish venue (Castlefield Bowl) is accessible to wheelchair users. The course is wheelchair accessible throughout and mostly flat, please note that there are some cobbles and uneven flagstones within the first 100m of the route. These can be avoided by starting the route via Rice Street. If you would like to do this, please speak to us on the night and we would be happy to assist.

E-Scooter - Salford Council is participating in the Department for Transport’s E-Scooter trial.
The scooters can be used between the University of Salford, Salford Quays and up to the boundary with Manchester city council, as well as parts of Pendleton to Salford Royal Hospital. The e-scooters can be ridden the same as a pedal cycle and can use bike lanes and shared footways where cycling is permitted.

Scooters should not be ridden on a footway or in other pedestrian areas, unless there is signage indicating it can be used by pedal cycles.

E-scooters can be found and parked in specific marked parking bays, these can be located by downloading the Lime App.

Bikes are also available to hire across the city as part of a 24/7 cycle hire scheme. For more information please visit Bee Active. Please note Cancer Research UK do not take responsibility for any bikes or scooters at the event and these are left at the owners risk.
