One of the region’s best known law firms, Davis Blank Furniss, is stepping up once again to support community sport, health and wellbeing, confirming its sponsorship of the ‘Hero Half Marathon’ at this year’s iconic Tour 2026.
The popular half marathon takes place on Saturday 20th June as part of The Tour four-day running festival (18th-21st June), and will see over 1,000 runners and spectators descend on the area.
The Hero Half Marathon route takes runners through Padfield, Hadfield and along the stunning Longdendale Trail, creating one of the most scenic and atmospheric events in the North West running calendar.
Davis Blank Furniss Glossop & Manchester has become well known for supporting local initiatives and organisations across the communities it serves. Richard Hamilton, Managing Partner said:
“We are delighted to be supporting such an amazing event. The Tour is iconic and we’re proud to be a part of yet another strong local event bringing people together.
“It gives us the opportunity to be associated with more great events across Manchester, Glossop and Tameside, while supporting health, wellbeing and community spirit.”
This year’s Hero Half Marathon has already completely sold out, underlining the growing popularity of the Tour, which combines competitive running with a real festival atmosphere across four days of events.
Tour organisers say support from respected local businesses remains vital in helping the event continue to grow while retaining its unique community feel and heritage.
Sponsorship and partnership opportunities across The Tour weekend are still available. For more details, please contact: [email protected]
