The iconic chunky finisher medal is always a hot topic of conversation for the adidas Manchester Marathon. What will it look like? When will it be revealed? For some people adding another epic medal to their collection is why they take part.

Now, it’s your moment to leave your mark on the 2024 event by shaping the final medal design of the marathon’s finisher's medal. A spokesperson from the event said: "Your voice matters, and the medal you help choose could be the one hanging around your neck as you triumphantly cross the finish line on the momentous Sunday 14 April 2024."

Every year thousands of people run the marathon in support of good causes, 2023 saw the largest amount of fundraising to date for the event.
