Good luck to everyone participating in the Manchester Marathon today! 🏃 For the second year in a row, the finishers tee has been designed by a Manchester School of Art student. The 2026 design comes from first year Graphic Design student Faris Owynat, who wanted the tee to reflect Manchester's balance of toughness and creativity. Dame Sarah Storey, the UK's most accomplished Paralympian and a visiting professor at Manchester Met, will be the official starter for the marathon.
