This year at the Manchester Half Express Yourself edition, participants received an extra special and unique finishers medal.

Those who crossed the finish line received a colourful ‘lucky dip’ of one of thirty-six possible designs, featuring quotations from Manchester-born icons such as Noel Gallagher and Emmeleine Pankhurst. We’ve been delighted to see so many of you posting your colourful medal photos with the hashtag #MedalMonday and #ManchesterHalf, so we wanted to share just a handful of our favourites.

Enjoy our selection of medal eye candy – sunshine and bumblebees!
