BBC2: 4:00pm - 5:30pm

Quote:

Hazel Irvine presents action from the BUPA Great Manchester Run, where last year Ethiopia's Haile Gebrselassie smashed the United Kingdom all-comers 10km record with a mark of 27 minutes and 25 seconds. Gebrselassie's great rival Paul Tergat is the star of the field this year, but will have competition from Commonwealth 10,000m champion Boniface Kiprop and Great North Run winner Zersenay Tadesse. Steve Cram and Brendan Foster provide the commentary.

and the Great South Run will be shown on channel five.
I think that they may only be showing the highlights in the evening though.
