At the Manchester Half we believe every person is beautifully unique with different reasons for taking on a 13.1-mile challenge. That’s why we’re bringing back the popular ‘Express Yourself’ edition of the event for its second year, creating another opportunity for participants to celebrate their individuality, passions and more.

As the first major running event in the UK to allow you to control the look and feel of the bib you wear on event day, we’ve got some exciting design updates for the 2024. Choose your favourite colours, a ‘persona stamp’ and bee-mojis’ 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.
