Are you one of the thousands who have signed up for this year's Manchester Half, set to take place on 15 October? If you are, then you'll be interested in this unique way of expressing yourself, organisers have come up with... personalised bibs!

They say: "You’re unique. Act like yourself, look like yourself. Embrace your individuality, it’s something to celebrate. No one else has faced the same challenges as you, so you can’t be compared. We encourage you to express who you are. Show the world your true self through your clothing, personalised bib, voice, or, if you so wish, an interpretive dance mid run!"

And so, this year runners have the option to personalise their bibs. You can choose an emoji that best describes how you feel about taking on the challenge, share your reason for running and select the national flag you’d like displayed on your bib. Or if you’d prefer just to simply choose one of the pre-designed background options you can do that too – the choice is yours.

But that's not all, you can also choose to purchase an 'Express Yourself' t-shirt, this isn't just any white branded top though, this is your opportunity to take your loved ones and supporters along with you on your Manchester Half journey. Get your supporters to write their messages (or pictures) of support on your tee and wear it proudly on the event day.

Manchester Half is the biggest of its type in the North West with over 10,000 runners taking on the incredible closed road flat route. Whether you’re looking for a new challenge, seeking a new PB or want a glorious medal to add to your collection, the Manchester Half has you covered.
