Run Media City 10k

Run Media City Christmas 5k & 10k, organized by RunThrough UK, takes place at MediaCity in Salford. The event offers 5k and 10k routes (plus a junior race) around Media City. Runners start and finish in the centre of Media City, following a flat, fast course that uses a 2.5km loop, passing the canal, the Imperial War Museum, and the ITV and BBC studios; the 5k is two laps and the 10k four.

The course is not a closed-road race, but kilometre markers and marshals aid pacing. Features include a themed medal, free race photos, chip timing, and post-race goodies, with proceeds in support of St Ann's Hospice. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
