This year, 19 runners from Atmos’ head office in Manchester UK will run ‘the world’s favorite’ 10K race to raise money for the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital.
The Great Manchester Run takes place on Sunday 22 May 2016 and will be broadcast on the BBC. This is one in a series of annual ‘Great Runs’ in the UK, Ireland, and Ethiopia that raise money for charities.

The team to beat
In 2015, Atmos beat 95 other small companies to be the fastest mixed team of the year with a combined time of 03:16:35. This was seven minutes ahead of the next best team and is a personal best for the company. We hope to do even better this year!
