The 2019 ASICS Greater Manchester Marathon medal has been revealed!

Designed in antique gold, this year’s medal is notably the chunkiest medal for the event yet! The medal takes a new bold square shape, with the rebranded Manchester ‘M’ taking centre stage on a sandblasted effect background. This simple yet effective design will be handed to each person who finishes the 2019 ASICS Greater Manchester Marathon taking place on Sunday 7 April.

Jenna Charman, who helped design the 2019 medal, said “We know marathon medals are more than a piece of metal, they represent a magnificent achievement, and are treasured for years to come. With our event growing in numbers by an incredible 50%, we wanted something big and bold to reflect that. The straight sides are a nod to the famously flat course. Now I’ve seen it in person I’m actually a bit upset I won’t be able to run myself, although seeing 20,000 people wearing something I have designed isn’t so bad!”
