Today, 100 runners proudly represented Muslim Sports Network at The Big Half 2026 — and what an incredible day it was! 👏

For many of our runners, today was about much more than simply completing 13.1 miles.

Many had never run an organised race before, let alone a Half Marathon. For some, this was their first ever major running challenge, while others were returning to push themselves further and achieve new goals.

Despite the summer heat, every single runner showed incredible determination, resilience and commitment. ☀️💪
🔥 Many achieved Personal Bests
💪 Others significantly outperformed their expectations
🏅 And so many achieved something they never thought was possible
But perhaps the greatest achievement was seeing 100 people come together, challenge themselves and support one another.

Whether you achieved a PB, hit your target, exceeded your expectations, completed your first Half Marathon, or simply made it across that finish line — you should be incredibly proud of yourself.

A huge CONGRATULATIONS to every single one of our runners! 🏅👏

And a massive thank you to everyone who came out to cheer, support and encourage our runners around the course. Your energy and encouragement made a real difference. 🙌
Today wasn’t just about times, medals or finishing positions.
It was about community, commitment, courage and believing that you could do it.
100 runners. 13.1 miles. Thousands of steps. Countless personal achievements.

What a day for Muslim Sports Network. 💚🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

Congratulations, MSN Big Half 2026 Team! 🏅👏
