Media City Half Marathon - 21 February 2027
The Media City Half Marathon is a road-closed half marathon based at Media City Piazza, Salford (M50 2EQ) with the start and finish at Media City UK. The route is a two lap layout that mixes city roads around Salford and Eccles with footpaths around Salford Quays. The course is described as flat and fast, with an elevation gain of approximately 67 m and clear mile markers throughout.
Entry includes a unique themed medal, chip-timed results, free race photos, post race goodies and a secure bag drop. The event village offers food, drink and finish-line refreshments from partners. Marshals are positioned on course and wide roads and open waterfront sections provide multiple viewing points for friends and family.
Practical details: there is a three hour cut off for the race and the minimum age is 17. Water stations are located at approximately 2.5, 4.5, 6.5, 9.5 and 12 miles, and portable toilets are available in the event village and can be accessed during the two lap route. There is no specific event parking; the Media City multi-storey car park closes as a result of road closures, and the Lowry Outlet car park is a short walk outside the road closure area. An optional event t shirt is available for purchase. The organiser provides access information for attendees with access needs before the event.
