Run Media City 5k & 10k : 24 June 2027
Run Media City is a timed evening road race held at Media City Piazza in Salford. The event offers two distances:
- 5K
- 10K
The route starts and finishes in the Media City Piazza and follows a flat 2.5 km loop through Media City UK. The course passes over the Millennium Bridge, along paved and tarmac paths, past the Imperial War Museum, and alongside television studios. Each kilometre is clearly marked and the course is supported by marshals.
Event services include chip-timed results, a unique themed medal, free race photos, post race goodies, and a bag drop with a secure marquee. Water stations are provided every 2.5 km and water is available at the finish. Portable toilets are available in the event village and can also be accessed during the race because of the lapped course.
Practical details: minimum age is 11 for the 5K and 15 for the 10K, and there is a two hour cut off. Race pack collection takes place in the event village on the day; participants should bring booking confirmation and photo ID. GPX files are provided for GPS watches, Strava and Komoot. There is no dedicated event parking; nearby multi-storey car parks serve the area but queues are likely so arriving early is advised.
Accessibility notes: buggy runners and wheelchair athletes are welcome. Dogs are not permitted on the course but may be in the event village on a lead. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
