Run Media City 5k & 10k
Run Media City takes place on 29 July 2027 at MediaCity UK, with the activity based around Media City Piazza in Salford. The event offers measured 5 km and 10 km races on a flat, fast 2.5 km loop that passes the Millennium Bridge, the Imperial War Museum, ITV studios and BBC studios. The course runs on tarmac and paved paths.
Entries include a unique themed medal, chip-timed results, free race photos, post-race goodies and a bag drop. Water is provided every 2.5 km and at the finish. GPX files are available for both distances for use with GPS watches or mapping apps.
There is an event village with food and drink options and portable toilets, and toilets can be accessed during the race because of the lapped course. Baggage is stored in a secure marquee and baggage tags attach to race numbers. The event uses a two hour cut-off time. Minimum ages are 11 for the 5 km and 15 for the 10 km.
Public transport access includes the Media City Metrolink station adjacent to the event village and the Imperial War Museum Metrolink station a short walk away; Salford Crescent train station is mentioned as the closest mainline station with a short taxi journey to MediaCity UK.
