Hi SE,
congrats on getting the new job! I'm from Manchester myself originally and it's got loads of great places to run. I lived in the south side of the city in Altrincham and used to run along the flat canal banks of the Bridgewater. There is also a great place called Sale water park which is connected to a massive open expanse of river banks along the Mersey river and country lanes and you can run off road for miles in peace - that was my almost permanent running place. I still try to squeeze in a run every now and then when I'm there because I loved the place so much. And I'm sure you'll have no problem finding a running club there too. There are a couple of 10k's in city center there now as well, city of Manchester run and the Bupa 10k I think, I hope to do them myself next year, work and everything else permitting. But good luck anyway, and if you need to know any info about any parts of Manchester I'm happy to try and help.
