You do overhear the funniest things at a marathon… especially taken out of context! We loved hearing all of your praise for our event as the endorphins soared in high over the finish line. We also enjoyed a bit of classic British irony (and you guys sure know how to make an understatement!)

So here is what we overheard at the adidas Manchester Marathon 2024 that made us smile:

Note: read in a Mancunian accent for the full effect!

1. “WHO NEEDS TOENAILS WHEN YOU GET A MEDAL THIS GOOD!” 🏅

2. “GO CATERPILLAR, GO! 🐛

3. “WHAT’S REALLY IN YOUR WATER BOTTLES?” 👀

4. “WILL YOU MARRY ME?”💍

5. “BIG UP ALTY WHO BRING THE PARTY EVERY YEAR!”🎉

6. “YABBA DABBA DOOO! GO BARNEY AND FRED!” 🦶

7. “BEATS LONDON BY A MILE – 26.2 OF THEM IN FACT” 😉

You’re welcome everyone!
