Good luck to everyone taking on the Manchester Marathon this weekend. For those who make it to the finish line, this is what’s waiting for you. This year’s official finisher T-shirt has been designed by our Graphic Design student Faris Owynat. Born and raised in the city, Faris has brought Manchester’s culture, creativity and grit into the design, weaving the marathon route into the logo alongside subtle nods to the city, including a hidden bee pattern formed through blue and red lines. As Faris puts it, “Finishing a marathon takes so much effort, and I wanted the T-shirt to feel like a proper reward.”
