Media City Half Marathon - 21 February 2027
The Media City Half Marathon is a road-closed event that starts and finishes at Media City UK in Salford. The route combines city roads around Salford and Eccles with footpaths around Salford Quays, and the course is described as flat and suitable for confident pacing and personal best attempts.
Each kilometre is accurately marked with distance flags and there are mile markers and friendly marshals positioned throughout the route. Wide roads and open waterfront sections provide clear viewing points for friends and family along the course.
Entries include a unique themed medal, free official race photos, chip-timed results and post race goodies. The event features an event village with food and drink options and finish-line giveaways from partners. Event t-shirts are available at a discounted price when purchased as part of the entry, supplied through a partner kit provider.
The 2027 event supports EMPOWER Youth Zones, named as the charity of the year, and the organiser notes a focus on sustainability for its events. Ticketing is offered in timed categories including Super Early Bird, Early Bird, Standard and Last Minute, each with specific booking end dates.
