Run the Race is Bishop Nigel's pilgrimage to all parishes in the diocese. It began in May 2006 with his first visit to St Clements, Chorlton and St Mary, Davyhulme and came to St Mary Magdalene's on Wednesday 28th April 2010

Under the banner 'Run the Race, Look to Jesus', the bishop hopes to encourage every parish to pass on the baton of faith to the next generation. By the end of 2008, the Bishop of Manchester will have completed over 100 mission visits by the end of this year.
