At the Manchester Half we believe every person is beautifully unique with different reasons for taking on a 13.1-mile challenge. We’ve been working for a long time to create something that breaks the mould and are delighted to finally reveal the details of our first EXPRESS YOURSELF edition. 

To begin with, we’ll be the first major running event in the UK to allow you to control the look and feel of the bib you wear on Sunday 15 October. With the option to be subtle as you like or go all out with colour, flags and emojis to represent who you are and why you’re running. The choice is yours.

On your journey we’d love you to share with the world who are you, what motivates you, and to be able to express what or who you love. There’s no right or wrong way to be part of this Express Yourself edition. But please consider showing through your clothing, voice, personalised bib or whatever else comes to mind what expresses YOU best. Whatever you choose to do (or not) is the right answer, and we cannot wait to welcome you.
