Have you ever seen a banana run a half marathon? Well, you may spot one this year. Behind the banana costume will be Ana, who is taking on the ASICS Manchester Half in memory of her friend Cláudio, whose favourite fruit inspired her outfit choice.
Honouring Cláudio’s memory, celebrating his life, and raising funds for @moyacolehospice, who provided vital support to him and his family💙
The care Cláudio received has stayed with Ana and inspired her to give back. “They deal with this every day. And they have so much love in their hearts. They are so respectful and gracious in making space for people and their families.”

For many people, running one half marathon is a major challenge, but Deb and her wife Alex are taking on 12 half marathons in 12 months throughout 2026, including the #MCRHalf, to raise money for @christiecharity. Inspired by the support provided by the charity after Alex’s stepdad, mum, brother and dad were all diagnosed with cancer over the past five years, they want to give back and help ensure others can benefit from their life-changing work.
“For families affected by cancer, just knowing there are people out there who understand what they’re going through and are prepared to support the work The Christie does is really important,” - Deb.
