Run Media City 5k & 10k
Run Media City 5k & 10k takes place at Media City Piazza in Salford. The event offers three race formats: a 5K, a 10K and team relays. The course is a flat 2.5 km loop that starts and finishes in the Media City Piazza, crossing the Millennium Bridge, passing the Imperial War Museum, and running alongside the ITV and BBC television studios. The route uses tarmac and paved paths.
Included with entry are a unique themed medal, free race photos, chip-timed results, post-race goodies and a bag drop. Water stations are placed every 2.5 km and additional water is available at the finish. GPX files for the 5K and 10K are provided for GPS watches, Strava and Komoot.
Event logistics note a two hour cut-off and minimum ages of 11 for the 5K and 15 for the 10K. Portable toilets are available in the event village and during the race. A secure marquee is provided for baggage storage. The event village contains food and drink options and partner giveaways.
